Description:<\/b><\/p>\n
Both Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and Bulimia Nervosa (BN) are marked by a serious course of illness and poor outcomes in many of the afflicted individuals. In AN, there is an almost 18-fold increase in mortality including a high suicide rate, or\u00a0 in 20% of cases, the illness continues a chronic course. The longer-term outcome of BN is only slightly better, with a lower mortality rate. While early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent serious medical conditions, treatment can be successful for those who have suffered\u00a0 for many years and have not succeeded in previous treatments. With proven treatment methods and a strong desire to overcome the disorder, individuals suffering from\u00a0 eating disorders can recover. Additionally, when health care professionals work with the family members and other \u201ccarers”,\u00a0 this \u201ccollaborative care\u201d can be very effective.<\/p>\n
What are the factors\u00a0 in treatment that lead to better outcomes? How can these factors be maximized and applied in treatment? What are the unhelpful patterns and other common pitfalls the health care team can encounter in collaborative care and how can they be overcome? How can health care professionals use the\u00a0Short Treatment Allocation Tool for Eating Disorders\u00a0<\/i>to optimize care of eating disordered clients?\u00a0 Join our clinical expert and psychologist\u00a0\u00a0Dr. Josie Geller\u00a0<\/b>to hear how these advances in treatment can radically improve outcomes for this population.<\/p>\n
