About this event
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) remains the gold-standard, first-line treatment for Binge Eating Disorder (BED). This training highlights the quintessential differences between the traditional CBT-E and newer CBT-BED treatment protocols with specific attention to an adjusted formulation and treatment modules relevant to a diagnoses of BED.The training enhances knowledge of treating BED in contemporary practice, including (i) building understanding about metabolic health, and (ii) working with individuals at higher body weight when it is the clients desire for weight loss, and/or explicit medical instruction for weight loss co-occurs with eating disorder treatment.
This interactive workshop equips eating disorder clinicians with advanced tools to confidently navigate modern treatment landscapes. Centred on the latest evidence-based framework from Riccardo Dalle Grave’s landmark manual, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Binge Eating Disorder (2024), alongside the refined international definitions of clinical obesity (The Lancet, 2025), this course bridges the gap between psychological eating disorder protocols and metabolic health. You will gain practical, cutting-edge strategies to enhance client engagement, integrate psychological and nutritional care, and master complex, real-world case management with clinical authority.
