Evidence-based
cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT-ED) is the therapy that is recommended most
widely for eating disorders under the recent National Institute for Health and
Care Excellence guidelines (NICE, 2017). It is the primary therapy for treating
non-underweight adults, one of the recommended therapies for underweight
adults, and applicable for some younger cases. However, CBT is routinely
applied poorly with such cases, if at all. In part, this is because clinicians
do not know the core techniques and how to apply them effectively: in part, it
is because we avoid asking patients to undertake the hard work that is
necessary.
This
workshop will detail the evidence for CBT-ED, the structure of this therapy,
and why we fail to apply it appropriately. The majority of the workshop will be
dedicated to skills training. Participants will be shown a range of CBT-ED
techniques in action, and will be encouraged to undertake those techniques in
order to learn how to apply them appropriately. The skills to be developed will
include:
•
How to handle the first few sessions to encourage maximum short- and long-term
benefits – particularly changing central cognitions, behaviours and emotions,
and managing non-negotiables
•
Exposure therapy related to changes in eating (and weight, where appropriate)
•
Behavioural experiments used to change cognitions
•
Cognitive restructuring to address different levels of cognitions
•
Exposure therapy related to wider emotional concerns
•
Body image treatment, based on identifying and targeting specific maintaining
factors
•Ending
therapy appropriately
Learning objectives By
the end of the workshop, attendees should be able to:
1.
Explain what evidence-based CBT-ED involves, and why
2.
Engage patients in the hard work of CBT-ED
3.
Select the techniques that individual patients need to address their individual
eating problems
4.
Apply core CBT-ED techniques, determine whether they are working, and respond
accordingly
