Nutritional Guidelines for Treating Eating Disorders
The most lethal of all
the mental health
disorders, eating
disorders adversely
impact every aspect of a
person's life...
nutritional, physical,
emotional, cognitive,
behavioral, social, all
of which must be
understood and
addressed, even within a
course of a treatment
focusing primarily on
food and eating. When
the diagnosis is a
clinical ED, healthful
nutrition is but one
aspect of a recovery
that requires a
committed collaboration
of a multi-disciplinary
team of professionals
including nutritionist,
physician,
psychotherapist and
parents and that saves
lives. This lecture
offers strategies and
treatment tools for
nutritionists and
dieticians who no longer
need to feel unprepared
and intimidated about
managing hard-to-treat
cases of anorexia and
bulimia. Through
developing unique skills
and a novel use of self
in pivotal relationships
with clients, families
and collaborating health
professionals,
nutritionists become
instrumental in saving
lives.
