TITLE: Interprofessional Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT-IE) for Psychologists and Dietitians

TRAINING SUMMARY: Interprofessional Collaborative Practice (IPCP) enhances care delivery by improving communication, role clarity, and shared decision-making, leading to more cohesive treatment. We have developed an interprofessional adaptation of Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT-IE) to facilitate collaboration between dietitians and psychologists in outpatient eating disorder care. This interactive workshop will equip participants with practical skills and insights to implement CBT-IE and integrate IPCP principles in their clinical practice.

The workshop will cover: 

• An introduction to CBT-IE, its principles, and application.
• A detailed overview of the CBT-IE treatment model, including discussion of a real-world case study.
• Current evidence for applying IPCP to outpatient eating disorder treatment.
• Strategies for dietitians and psychologists to collaborate most effectively in delivering outpatient eating disorder care.

Interactive activities, including:

• Role-playing two core elements of CBT-IE.
• Small group brainstorming and problem-solving sessions on practical implementation challenges.
