Cognitive Behavior Therapy for the Treatment of Eating Disorders, 3 CE

Co-sponsored by The Kentucky Psychological Association, The Kentucky Psychological Foundation, and the University of Kentucky Harris Psychological Services Center

Presented by April R. Smith, Ph.D.

Materials covered in this workshop are adopted from Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Eating Disorders (2008) by Christopher Fairburn, which is a resource guide for clinicians who wish to learn the skills needed to manage and treat clients with eating disorders. This treatment is considered to be a leading empirically supported treatment for eating disorders. This workshop will demonstrate how the transdiagnostic approach can be used with the full range of eating disorders seen in outpatient practice. Skill Level: Beginning

Workshop Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Identify the transdiagnostic view of eating disorders and key aspects of eating disorder behavior
  • Describe cognitive-behavioral and psychoeducational interventions to address eating disorder related cognitive schemas
  • Utilize cognitive behavioral techniques to address shape and weight concerns
  • Identify other empirically supported treatment options for eating disorders
