Adult mental health : psychological therapies and interventions

These two days aim to train you in the skills needed to deliver CBT-T - a 10-session evidence-based therapy for adults and older adolescents with non-underweight eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder and atypical anorexia nervosa. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own cases for discussion. The principles of CBT-T and the evidence base will be outlined, and then the remainder of the two days will be dedicated to explaining the skills needed to address problematic eating, emotional triggers to eating behaviours, 'habit-based' eating. and body image. Key skills will be demonstrated live and using video role-plays. Many of the skills (e.g., exposure, behavioural experiments, addressing core beliefs) will be familiar to those who have experience in delivering CBT for other disorders. The days will end with consideration of relapse prevention, planning for future clinical work, and an outline of recent developments in CBT-T. Finally, questions and further case discussion will be encouraged.
