Working Therapeutically with People...

Overview for Working Therapeutically with People with Eating Disorders with Harriet Parsons

A brief description about this Activity.

In these two webinars, Harriet will present a way of understanding eating disorders that will provide a grounded foundation upon which to build and structure your work with people with eating disorders. As well as outlining the different diagnostic categories, Harriet will elaborate the dynamics of the different eating disorders to ensure participants have an experiential understanding of what it is like for a person to experience an eating disorder. Drawing on her years of experience working with people with eating disorders, Harriet will use clear and helpful examples to bring this material to life and ensure that those attending are given something concrete and helpful, no matter what field of study they come from. Harriet’s vast experience working with clinicians of every discipline (psychiatrists in training, GPs, Mental health nurses, clinical nurses, dietitians, OTs, social workers, psychologists and psychotherapists of every discipline) ensures that you will learn about eating disorders in a clear and helpful way, that is grounded in the clinic and can be used in any clinical field. The seminars will also cover communication skills that are particularly important when working with people with eating disorders as well as key aspects that are relevant and crucial to know if you embark on this field of work. Working with people with eating disorders is not easy or straightforward, and Harriet will discuss the common fears, anxieties and expectations that clinicians have, by way of helping those attending to build confidence in their own ability to be of benefit to this client group. There will be time for questions, and on the second day people are welcome to bring clinical case questions for discussion (ensuring boundaries of confidentiality are always kept). Harriet’s experience supervising those working with people with eating disorders can be made the most of during the seminars. Harriet will also ensure that participants are given a reading list and a resource list should they wish to study further.
