Panel Discussion: How We Developed FBT\, and Why It Works DESCRIPTION:About this Webinar:Abstract: In this conversation with parents\, I will start with my own scientific journey that took me to the Maudsley Hospital in London\, back in the 1980’s. Spending about five years in London helped me prepare some of the foundations for the development of Family- based Treatment (FBT) for young people with an eating disorder (ED). The 1980’s in London\, and specifically at the Maudsley\, saw the beginnings of a sea change in the treatment of young people with EDs. Whereas\, up to this point in time\, parents were largely excluded from this treatment process\, in part because psychological theories and treatment models tended to view parents\, at least in part\, to blame for their child’s illness. The work at the Maudsley Hospital challenged these models in a very profound way. That is\, by working with families\, we demonstrated that there is no evidence to suggest that parents are to blame for their child’s illness. In fact\, by including parents in their child’s treatment and leveraging their devotion to their child\, parents are a potent resource\, and their active role in treatment has brought about improved outcomes. As the family engages in FBT\, coaching the parents to bring about weight recovery for the young person and providing their child with emotional support during this process\, are paramount initial steps in this process. Here\, I will elaborate on why FBT works\, and what a ‘typical’ FBT journey(s) might look like. In particular\, I will talk about how parental management of the adolescent’s nutritional intake may at times feel counterintuitive given that these disorders typically onset during adolescence\, which is a time of budding independence for young people. I will conclude with some thoughts on how the parents are instrumental in returning their child to their appropriate adolescent developmental trajectory so that they may go on to become independent and healthy young adults. \nPresenter Bios:\nDaniel LeGrange\, PhD\, holds a Distinguished Professorship at the University of California\, San Francisco\, where he is a Benioff UCSF Professor in Children’s Health and Director of the Eating Disorders Program in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences\, UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences\, as well as the Department of Pediatrics.

Panel Discussion: Promoting Life in the Treatment of Severe and Enduring Eating Disorders DESCRIPTION:Molly M.

Additionally\, she oversees Monte Nido & Affiliates IRB-approved research study on clinical outcomes as Co-Principal Investigator and has co-authored several papers in peer-reviewed research journals on PTSD and eating disorders. \nWe are alarmed that treatment pathways are being created which are robbing people of the chance to recover. We are equally appalled that in some systems\, active treatment is being withdrawn from those with enduring eating disorders\, sending a loud and clear message that there is no place for them in treatment and no hope for their recovery. \nFour of FEAST’s esteemed Advisory Panel experts will lead a discussion on the topic of Promoting Life in the Treatment of Severe and Enduring Eating Disorders\, alongside FEAST’s own Executive Director. \nThe panelists will talk about harm reduction and palliative care that is meant to be used as a vehicle to promote life. They will share their insight and experience on how people with enduring eating disorders can live better lives in the shadow of their illness\, and how their families can help them achieve this. They will address the need to combat the hopelessness associated with severe and enduring eating disorders\, and offer reasons to hold onto hope. \nPlease join F.E.A.S.T. for this sensitive discussion on a complex topic. \nPresenter Bios: \nLauren Muhlheim\, Psy.D.\, FAED\, CEDS is a psychologist\, fellow of the Academy for Eating Disorders (AED)\, and certified eating disorder specialist (CEDS) and approved supervisor for the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP).
