TH1A, TH1B, TH1C, TH1D (4-CD Program) *Anorexia Nervosa: Treatment Across the Continuum of Illness* Michael Strober, PhD	In light of mounting evidence that genetic influences play an important role in vulnerability to anorexia, the developmental pathways of risk are becoming better understood. Genetically determined mechanisms of emotion regulation and general temperament can insidiously impact self-function and susceptibility to maturity fears, triggering intense anxieties centered on pubertal changes in weight and shape. This workshop will review these empirical and theoretical developments and present an equally detailed discussion of models of psychotherapeutic treatment. How the initial consultation is structured, how the psychopathology is described to patient and family, and how the course of therapy is managed will be explored. Case studies, transcripts, and tape will be used to illustrate psychotherapeutic process and content, focusing on the importance of evocative language in the therapist-patient dialogue. Didactic, Interactive Intermediate/Advanced	(4-CD Session) $48.00

TH2A, TH2B, TH2C, TH2D (4-CD Program) *If You Want to Aim High, You Need to Go Deep: Core Issue Completion Therapy in Eating Disorder Recovery* Michael D. Lukens, PhD and Regina C. Lukens, LCSW	Are there cases of “full” recovery? What do they look like? How can therapy help people achieve a “full” recovery? Trauma, abuse, grief, and self-esteem are all “core issues” that humans struggle with, and which therapy, as it is generally practiced, rarely manages to effectively resolve. Core Issue Completion Therapy (CICT) is an approach that targets the underlying core emotional issues that “drive the disorder.” CICT is experiential, intense, and ideally delivered in non-traditional formats. The initial anecdotal evidence regarding its efficacy is extremely favorable. This workshop will discuss CICT and will include case studies to help participants gain an understanding of this alternative approach. Didactic, Experiential Intermediate	(4-CD Session) $48.00

TH3A, TH3B, TH3C, TH3D (4-CD Program) *Understanding, Assessing and Treating Eating Disorders in the 21st Century* Jennifer Nardozzi, PsyD, Gayle Brooks, PhD, Julie Dorfman, MA, RD, LDN, Shawn Gersman, MD, Susan Kleinman, MA, ADTR, NCC and Jodi Krumholz, RD, LDN	Forty years ago, anorexia nervosa was an obscure esoteric disorder and bulimia nervosa had been observed, but not officially recognized. Although the past four decades have brought about a wealth of information regarding eating disorders, many myths and misconceptions remain. This presentation, by Renfrew staff, takes a historical perspective of the field and provides an overview of the most current understanding of theory, assessment and treatment. Particular emphasis will be placed on the best clinical practices for multidisciplinary treatment. Didactic, Interactive, Experiential Beginner	(4-CD Session) $48.00

TH4A, TH4B, TH4C, TH4D (4-CD Program) *The “War” on Obesity: Promoting Recovery or Preventing It?* Jonathan Robison, PhD, MS	The Surgeon General labeled obesity “the terror within,” and called for a “cultural transformation” to combat and win the “war” against it. This workshop will separate reality from rhetoric regarding the relationship between weight and health, as well as distinguish between obesity and binge eating disorder. The historical context and socio-cultural background of the “war” on obesity will be explored. Progress to date will be examined, with special emphasis given to the mounting “casualties” of all ages. An evidence-based “exit strategy” for ending the war and promoting recovery will be presented, including implications that are relevant for the treatment of binge eating disorder. Interactive, Didactic All Levels	(4-CD Session) $48.00

TH5A, TH5B, TH5C, TH5D (4-CD Program) *Facilitating the Uncovering of Self: The Core of Eating Disorder Work* Mark F. Schwartz, ScD and Richard Schwartz, PhD	Eating disorder clients often verbalize that they do not know “who they are” and that they do not have a “sense of self.” Immediately the clinician realizes that full recovery is dependent on facilitating self-differentiation which, no doubt, has been impaired by the absence of key experiences in development, such as peer bonding, romantic relationships, and healthy mirroring from caregivers. This workshop will focus on theoretical conceptions of self-development and apply them to working with eating disorder clients. The Internal Family Systems Model for facilitating self will be emphasized. Videotaped segments will be utilized to illustrate innovative psychotherapy for enhancing the unfolding of self and self-leadership to control eating disorder symptoms. Didactic All Levels	(4-CD Session) $48.00

FR3A, FR3B (2-CD Program) *What Constitutes Healthy Body Image, Eating, Fitness and Weight? A Backdrop for Defining Eating Disorder Recovery* Kathy Kater, LICSW	In order to define eating disorder recovery, consensus about healthy body image, eating, fitness and weight is needed. When negative body images, disordered eating, lack of fitness, and healthy weight conflicts are normative, even professionals disagree. This workshop offers a new model for healthy body image and weight as the context for a definition of recovery. Didactic, Interactive, Experiential All Levels	(2-CD Session) $24.00

FR4A, FR4B (2-CD Program) *Let’s Eat: Using Therapeutic Eating Sessions, Meals, and Techniques in Treatment* Sondra Kronberg, MS, RD, CDN	Eating with clients can be a powerful therapeutic tool.

Becker, MD, PhD, ScM, Kelly Klump, PhD and Michael Levine, PhD	This keynote panel discussion explores the strengths and limitations of two different perspectives on eating disorders.

He then connects this body of knowledge to principles of feminist theories, developmental psychopathology, and health psychology, and in particular the biopsychosocial perspective. Dr. Klump discusses evidence to support genetic influences across the range of eating pathology and highlights developmental changes in etiologic effects. As moderator, Dr. Becker will facilitate a discussion between the panelists that explores the implications of socio-cultural and behavioral genetic perspectives and their possible integration to better understand the etiology, treatment, recovery and prevention of eating disorders.

K3 (2-CD Program) KEYNOTE PRESENTATION Eating Disorders Recovery: A Goal in Search of Definition Scott Crow, MD	Recovery is the ultimate goal of eating disorders treatment, but it remains unclear exactly what this means or encompasses. This keynote presentation reviews several reasons why it has been difficult to arrive at a consensual definition, including the fact that people with eating disorders often transition from one diagnosis to another, and the treatment typically focuses on several different factors, such as eating behavior, weight, and cognitions about eating, each of which can improve at a rate that is independent of others. Furthermore, current definitions of recovery exclude critically important issues such as overall quality of life, role functioning and quality of relationships. Potential solutions to the problem of definition will be reviewed, including the possibility of including non-traditional concepts such as quality of life.	(1-CD Session) $12.00
