Workshop Description:

This workshop will be very hands-on, practical, and participants will receive a number of handouts and resources to use right away with clients.

Eating disorders (EDs) are complex biological and psychiatric illnesses associated with significant morbidity and mortality. While CBT approaches are considered a first-line treatment, more than 50% of patients do not respond adequately and relapse rates remain high. Research has highlighted that differential treatment approaches are needed for individuals presenting with co-occurring suicide, self-injury, trauma, and specific bio-temperamental characteristics. The need to target emotion regulation difficulties, sensory issues, and underlying personality traits is well documented in the literature. Standard ED treatments were never designed to treat multiple high risk behaviors, do not have protocols for managing chronic suicide or self-injury, and do not comprehensively target personality disorders and emotion regulation problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides a comprehensive and multi-modal framework for managing emotion regulation difficulties and multiple high-risk behaviors in the context of an eating disorder. This practical, hands-on workshop will focus on utilizing DBT for clients who do not respond to standard ED interventions. Participants can expect a focus on skills that can effectively move clients through the pre-treatment phase and into active therapy. This workshop will include large and small group discussion, role-play, and ready-to-use client handouts.

This training is designed for clinicians who have experience treating eating disorders and those with foundational DBT knowledge and experience.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will be able to:

1. Utilize a flowchart for determining who needs Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - Eating Disorder (ED) treatment.

2. Explain to clients the rationale for using DBT for the treatment of EDs.

3. Explain an adapted ED-specific Biosocial Theory to clients and families.

4. Create ED-DBT treatment goals using 6 key strategies.

5. Describe where ED behaviors fit on the target hierarchy.

6. Utilize at least two dialectical strategies when managing weight, food, and treatment goals.

7. Integrate a novel ED-DBT diary card into practice.

8. Conduct a chain or “missing link” analyses on purging, restricting, and binge eating behaviors.

9. Adjust core DBT skills for patients with EDs
