Clinicians are invited to join this 1-day workshop to discuss the application of Family Based Treatment treatment for ARFID.

This workshop is based on the published treatment manual for FBT-ARFID: Family-Based Treatment for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder by James Lock, Routledge, 2022. All participants are encouraged to read this book prior to the training.


Family Based Treatment for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

1-DAY WORKSHOP

This workshop will prepare you to understand the background, theory, and application of FBT for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). This workshop will utilize an interactive format, including clinical discussion, role plays and lecture.

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder that typically onsets in childhood. There are no currently strongly supported evidence-based treatments for this disorder.

Family-based Treatment (FBT) has been shown in case series and small randomized clinical trials to be superior to usual care. FBT-ARFID includes the same fundamental assumptions as FBT for Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and Bulimia Nervosa (BN), but because of the younger age of onset, different clinical presentations, and commonly co-occurring co-morbidities, FBT has been substantially modified and adapted for this disorder.

This one-day workshop addresses the key differences in FBT-ARFID compared to FBT-AN or FBT-BN and provides role plays, clinical vignettes, and case studies to illustrate the approach.

If you cancel workshop registration within the time from when you register to one month in advance of the workshop, you will be reimbursed 50% of the registration fee, and within one month, no refund.
