with
Kara Fitzpatrick, Ph.D.
Eating disorders have long been considered to be chronic and intractable mental illnesses that are difficult to treat. However, the introduction of Family-Based Therapy (FBT) or “Maudsley” for Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa has changed the way we think about the treatment of these disorders. FBT has been found to be effective with children and adolescents, who have been ill for less than three years and are under age 18, with between 50-70% of patients achieving recovery after a year of treatment. FBT works to empower parents to manage their child’s eating disorder through a firm, compassionate focus on renourishment efforts. The treatment emphasizes the importance of parental efforts at renourishment, then the transition of control back to the adolescent. The importance of a return to normal development, both in eating and in the child or adolescent’s daily living, is essential for preventing relapse and founds out the end of treatment. Endorsed by the NICE guidelines as the first line of treatment for child and adolescent eating disorders.

This six hour workshop is geared both towards clinicians new to Maudsley Method/Family Based Treatment for Anorexia. This workshop will prepare you to understand the background, theory and application of FBT. The use of role-plays and video-tapes will highlight the use of these techniques in action and assist with understanding the clinical applications of this treatment, including when it is ideal and when another approach may be ideal.

Participants
who have taken the six hour Maudsley workshop will be invited to attend the
10 session live "one way mirror" training where one therapist from the
training will volunteer to see the client, while Dr. Fitzpatrick calls into
the session, giving suggestions while the group watches the session via
video. The first 30 minutes of the training will be spent discussing
the case, the session that day, and addressing the theory and
techniques. The client will then work with the therapist for 50 minutes
while the team gives suggestions. The group will discuss the session
for the last 30 minutes to discuss what worked, what didn't, and why.
We will be able to go beyond just theory and technique and see how to
apply it in reality. Two out of the ten sessions will be spent
reviewing video of the session and practicing the techniques to deepen
the learning in Maudsley Method.
IAP
can not guarantee that we will have a client or that the client will
come for all 10 sessions. If this does happen, then we will use the
time as a consultation group, may have people in the training bringing
in their clients for a single session, or watch videos of sessions. IAP
will make every effort to have a client coming in for the therapy and
we have been able to have a client each time, so the likelihood of not
having a client is very low. Also, most attendees can not attend all 10
sessions, which is common. The amount of 10 sessions is the same as
taking a class, so unfortunately, we do not refund if the person can not
make a session. All proceeds from the training and client payments go
to hiring trainers, equipment, and rent for the trainings.
