Evidence-based treatment for adults experiencing an eating disorder

There are many supports and treatments available for people experiencing eating disorders. In this webinar, members of the Eating Disorders Programme team in St Patrick's Mental Health Services (SPMHS) give an overview of five interventions for adults experiencing an eating disorder, outlining what these treatments look like and what they have to offer. In recent years, a number of evidence-based treatments for adults experiencing #eatingdisorders have come to the fore. Traditionally, evidence-based practice was based on research findings. More recently, however, evidence-based practice is thought to include three different elements: clinical research, clinical experience and, importantly, patient experience. While there can be differences between some international best practice guidelines, collectively, #psychotherapy is found to be central to treatment for eating disorders. Some guidelines or recommendations suggest that the person is medically or nutritionally stable to get the most effectiveness from their treatment, while others recommend medication alongside therapies can help to support people in their recovery. The five treatments for adults living with eating disorders covered in this webinar, which are evidence-based and informed by international best practice, include: 1. Maudsley Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults (MANTRA) 2. Compassion-Focused Therapy for Eating Disorders (CFT-E) 3. Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM) 4. Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E) 5. Medical Management. Read a blog relating to this talk here: https://www.stpatricks.ie/media-centr...
