in the treatment of eating disorders. The application of Emotion-Focused Therapy
to the treatment of eating disorders is an exciting and promising new
development in the field. This two-day intensive training will provide a foundation
for understanding and working with the theory and techniques of Emotion-
Focused Therapy, with a strong emphasis on skill development and practice, as
well as on the application of the approach to eating disorders. Video clips of
actual therapy sessions will illustrate the approach both with adult eating
disorders and as an adjunct to Family-Based Therapy with adolescent eating
disorders.

Components and course of therapy with both adults and adolescents, including
the steps of integrating Emotion-Focused Therapy into traditional adolescent
treatment and training parents to be their child’s “emotion coach,” will be outlined.
