ANZAED Autumn Workshop Series: Swan Valley 2018
In-Person Event
Mar 16 - 17, 2018
Perth, Western Australia, AUOVERVIEW
Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED) Annual Autumn Workshop Series is organized by Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED) and will be held during Mar 16 - 17, 2018 at Novotel Swan Valley Vines Resort, Perth, Western Australia, Australia.
This ANZAED's annual Autumn Workshop Series involves a series of half and full-day in-depth clinical workshops in eating disorders over two days.
Conference Highlights :
Child & Adolescent Stream :
Working with the adolescent in treatment for anorexia nervosa:
The workshop will focus on working collaboratively with adolescents in treatment to achieve better therapeutic outcomes. A number of strategies will be presented to facilitate better engagement with the adolescent, inform and educate them, as well as make therapy more meaningful whilst simultaneously helping the adolescent to challenge their cognitive distortions and assist with emotional regulation. Topics that will be covered in the workshop include modules on working with emotions, neurobiology and adolescent development, traits that hamper recovery, coping styles and dealing with the inner critic.
Partnering with parents in child and adolescent eating disorder care:
This workshop will focus on how to involve parents in all aspects of care from assessment to discharge and across different treatment contexts. We will focus particularly on how to be inclusive, working with parental barriers, and how to promote ways for parents to support each other. Key skills will involve engagement, fostering parental understanding about eating disorders, managing parental distress and mental health issues, and helping with and understanding criticism and emotional barriers in parents.
Dietetic Stream :
From MDT to GIT for Dietitians: Exploring collaborative care & gut health:
This workshop will address how dietitians can work with various eating disorder presentations (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder) across a number of age groups (children, adolescents, and adults) in a range of settings (inpatient, outpatient, community). The workshop will also provide dietitians with an overview of psychological interventions for eating disorders, and explore how dietetic and psychological interventions can complement one other for optimal treatment engagement and outcomes.
Health At Every Size & Binge Eating Disorder - it's not what you see that counts:
Health At Every Size - (HAES) is a weight inclusive, a wellbeing-oriented approach which seeks to humanize, rather than medicalize or pathologize the experience of a person, or group of people. From the perspective of Eating Disorders, HAES is a broad approach which invites us to view the experience of someone, or a group of people in a non-stigmatising way and supports them to explore ways to optimise wellbeing which reduce weight and body-concern, enhance compassionate care and strengthen the long-term recovery. HAES is a great match for ED prevention approaches and offers a strong framework from which health practitioners can speak about health from a holistic, rather than a weight-centric point of view.
General / Adult stream :
Compassion Focused Therapy for Eating and Body-Image Concerns:
People suffering from an eating disorder (ED), or more generally with eating, body image, and weight concerns, have been found to experience high levels of self-criticism, self-directed hostility and shame. Furthermore, these individuals tend to have difficulties generating and activating affiliative and self-soothing emotions. Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) specifically addresses these issues, and CFT for eating disorders (CFT-E) was designed to incorporate the development and practice of compassion for self and others into standard ED treatment programs to assist with these issues.
This workshop will describe (a) the theoretical rationale for a compassion-focused approach as part of ED treatment, (b) the adaptation and incorporation of CFT-E within ED treatment programs and a review of the current evidence-base for CFT-E (C) the use of CFT-E in clinical practice across the spectrum and various modes of inpatient and community-based delivery.
Body Image: Males, broadened perspectives and classic interventions:
This workshop will focus on body image research and clinical practice with a particular focus on males. What does research tell us about body image in males? How might clinical practice need to change? The cognitive-behavioral formulation of body image problems will be revisited, basic clinical interventions reviewed and some emerging approaches considered.
The workshop will include a mix of information, skills practice, and discussion. Participants will become more informed about current research on body image and males and have increased capacity to understand and apply body image interventions to both males and females.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
