Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy- Enhanced (CBT-E) for Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are complicated physical and mental illnesses that can have devastating effects. Due to the severity of these disorders, treatment requires highly specialized care in order to work toward decreased symptomatology. Cognitive-behavioral therapy- enhanced (CBT-E) is the current evidence-based treatment for adults struggling with eating disorders. This presentation will provide an overview of the CBT-E protocol, which is important as a review for clinicians who are more familiar with CBT-E and as a crucial learning experience for clinicians who are not yet implementing this protocol. Following this presentation, attendees should have a basic understanding of the CBT-E protocol and how to access additional resources and training opportunities, in the hopes that this will improve treatment for patients with eating disorders.
Due to the ongoing effort to improve and hone skills as clinicians, this presentation will allow clinicians the opportunity to increase knowledge about an evidence-based treatment for patients with eating disorders. An ongoing effort to educate about evidence-based protocols seems to be necessary to improve clinical care.
Clinicians will learn more about CBT-E theory, as well as specific clinical skills and procedures used in CBT-E. The hope is that clinicians will then use such skills and interventions with their patients in the future, as well as will seek additional resources and training opportunities related to CBT-E.
Target Audience
Physican, Pyschologist, Social Worker, Counselor
Learning Objectives
- Describe how cognitive-behavioral theory explains how a patient’s eating disorder behaviors and cognitions are maintained and difficult to change.
- In CBT-E, creating a personal formulation with a patient is given as homework to complete after the second session.
- In each CBT-E case, phase three focuses solely on body image and cognitive restructuring.
