Description
Body Image concerns, body dissatisfaction and associated distress are significant predisposing and maintaining factors in eating disorders. Addressing body image concerns is an important but poorly understood and implemented feature of eating disorders treatment. Body image distress is often not directly targeted in treatments, yet body image distress can cause major difficulties for young people and families during treatment, can be fundamental to the maintenance of the eating problem, and a significant predictor of relapse.This event will cover:
- Increased ability to understand and formulate body image concerns as part of overall clinical presentation for young people
- Increased capacity to address body image concerns with parents and other family members during eating disorders treatment
- Increased capacity to address body image concerns with individuals in eating disorders treatment
