The Therapist's Unique Use of Self in Empowering Eating Disorder Recovery

This web conference highlights unique aspects of eating disorder recovery that set its treatment requirements apart from those of generic mental health practice, both in terms of case management and the therapist’s versatile use of self. Though most practitioners have already acquired the skills they need to manage these disorders effectively, the challenge for clinicians is to learn why, how and which of these previously mastered techniques to use when, in response to the unique demands of the eating disordered person and treatment moment. Reinforcing professional intention and confidence, the discussion will speak to the importance of integrating parents and loved ones into the healing process.

This web conference is intermediate instructional level and designed to help clinicians:

1. Identify the unique qualities that set eating disorder recovery apart from generic practice;
2. Explain the unique personal challenges for health professionals treating eating disorders;
3. Apply effective nuts-and-bolts practice techniques to manage patient resistance, motivate a complete and sustainable recovery, and integrate parents and families into the healing process;
4. Describe the significance of a quality therapeutic relationship in promoting the healing process.
