Share Symposium 2009 with your colleagues in two formats! The presentation format will stream via the internet on a webex player (you cannot save it in this format), you will hear the speaker and the slides will advance as the speaker advanced them. (It is like sitting in the room with the speaker.) You can hook up an LCD projector and use it as an inservice for your staff. At the same time you purchase the presentation format, you will receive a download link for handouts (if applicable) and a link to download an audio of the presentation in MP3 format.

If you want to review the presentations, first visit the site with information on the presentations and the presenters. Click here for program descriptions. We are sorry but not every workshop is available due to some technical recording issues.

Part I - Treatment of Clients with Eating Disorders Secondary to Attachment Trauma: Utilizing Affect Intensifying Psychotherapies with Schema Change

EDP600:
Dissociation is more related to early attachment problems than acute or chronic trauma. Eating disorder is very much an ego-state that “hijacks” the body, with concomitant poor self-differentiation. Many eating disorder patients come from families with no overt trauma. Review with us the presenters experience with eating disorder clients at an intensive inpatient setting, utilizing a Dissociative and attachment based model.  

Those with eating disorders desperately attempt to seek approval and acceptance, and may find it, temporarily, through the pursuit of thinness or the comfort of food. Underlying issues, current stressors, and biochemical predispositions may cause one to turn to starving, bingeing, purging, or compulsively exercising as a means of coping.
