Learn about CBT for eating and body image
Eating disorders are notoriously difficult to treat, because some eating disorders carry high medical and psychiatric risk. Many clinicians shy away from accepting into their practice someone presenting with an eating disorder because of this. Yet eating disorders are highly prevalent and in general settings, most clinicians are treating people with an eating disorder – even if the patient is presenting with other problems.
This 2-day workshop from the Aotearoa New Zealand Association for Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (ANZACBT) will focus on managing some of the thorny elements in the assessment, early intervention and treatment of body image and eating disorders. Participants will be better able and more confident to assess, refer out or manage people with body image and eating disorders.
Dates: Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd December 2024.
Time: 9am to 4.30pm both days.
Location: Commodore Hotel (449 Memorial Avenue, Burnside).
Cost: $350 for ANZACBT Members, $180 ANZACBT Students and $400 for non-members.
