United Kingdom: Learn about anorexia development, family dynamics, and clinical management for psychologists. Explore therapeutic techniques in these online CPD courses.
This course looks at psychotherapy with anorexic patients, where clinicians often have to hold psychological work alongside concerns about physical health. Yael Kadish, an experienced therapist and psychoanalyst in training, explains the development of anorexia, the family dynamics and psychodynamics commonly associated with it, and the clinical features to recognise. UK therapists will also find guidance on case management and therapeutic technique, including how to approach patients whose bodies are compromised by their symptoms. It suits practitioners who work with eating disorders or expect to meet them in general practice.
Therapists working with anorexia have particular challenges to deal with, including working with patients whose physical health may be at risk. Join experienced therapist and psychoanalyst in training, Yael Kadish, in exploring the development of anorexia, common associated family dynamics and psychodynamics, therapeutic process, and clinical management.
