team members October 24

8:00PM EST, 7:00PM CST,
6:00PM MST, 5:00PM PST
The Nuts and Bolts
of Treatment Management
Eating disorders are
disorders of body, mind,
brain, interpersonal
function and Self. This
workshop presents an
overview of an integration
of treatment approaches and
techniques that are required
to crack the complex maze of
intra- and inter-personal
dysfunction that
characterizes these
disorders. For the
psychotherapist,
professional skill sets need
to be facile and diverse;
the professional's personal
use of self needs to be
intentional and
motivational, innovative and
courageous. This workshop
will uncover and address
problems of a uniquely
resistant patient population
and of a stagnating
change/recovery process,
even as it presents
strategies to minimize
obstacles to complete eating
disorder recovery.
