Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Enhanced (CBTe)
What is CBT-e?
Developed in the UK by Christopher Fairburn, out of his CBT for Bulimia Nervosa. From his transdiagnostic theory, which states that all eating disorders share similar core psychopathology, he enhanced his original treatment and made it transdiagnostic. It is applicable to all eating disorders and research suggests it is helpful for all eating disorders.
This collaborative workshop will include information on:
- An overview of the issues relevant to treating people with eating disorders
- Theoretical background and research base of CBT-e
- A comprehensive introduction to Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT-e)
- An understanding of how the transdiagnostic approach of CBT-E can be used with the full range of eating disorders seen in clinical practice
- Demonstrations of behavioural & cognitive interventions used in CBT-e
- Opportunities to practice skills
The training will involve didactic, interactive and experiential practice opportunities. Prior knowledge of understanding eating disorders and basic CBT principles is assumed.
