Current Research and News: "We examine the clinical research and current happenings in the eating disorder field to find the most interesting and useful current information available." Eating disorders in collegiate female athletes: factors that assist recovery. The purpose of this study was to identify factors that assist female athletes' recovery from eating disorders. Forty-seven female collegiate athletes who experienced eating disorders responded to an open-ended question regarding factors that most helped their recovery. The most common factors were the desire to be healthy enough to perform in sport, support from others, and shifts in values/beliefs. A unique finding was that the desire to be healthy enough to perform in sport most frequently facilitated recovery. This knowledge can help treatment providers to foster athletes' motivation to recover and distinguishes athletes as a unique treatment population from non-athletes.

Purpose: There are still uncertainties about manifestations of early adolescent eating disorders (ED) and their effects. We aimed to determine the prevalence of ED symptoms in early adolescence, derive symptoms dimensions, and determine their effects on social and psychological outcomes and subsequent body mass index (BMI). Methods: Data on 7,082 adolescents aged 13 years from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children were obtained on ED symptoms, resulting impairment and family burden and emotional and behavioral disorders using the parental version of the Developmental and Wellbeing Assessment. Exploratory structural equation models were used to derive ED symptoms dimensions separately by sex and to relate these to contemporary outcomes (impairment, burden, and emotional and behavioral disorders) and a distal outcome (objective BMI at age 15 years). Results: Extreme levels of fear of weight gain, avoidance of fattening foods, and distress about weight and shape were common among girls (11%). Three ED symptoms dimensions were identified: bingeing/overeating, weight/shape concern and weight-control behaviors, and food restriction. Bingeing/overeating was strongly associated with higher functional impairment, family burden, and comorbid psychopathology. Bingeing/overeating and weight/shape concern and weight-control behaviors predicted higher BMI 2 years later, whereas food restriction predicted lower BMI. These effects did not change when BMI at age 13 years was included in the model. Conclusions: Eating disorder cognitions are common among young teenage girls. Eating disorder symptoms have adverse cross-sectional and distal consequences, in particular on increasing body weight 2 years later. These findings have important implications for early identification of adolescents engaging in ED behaviors and for obesity prevention.

The school assignment: Create a public service announcement on the subject of your choosing. Two 13-year-old 7th-grade girls chose to tackle eating disorders, and their short film ended up resonating — not just with their peers, but with their teacher. The short produced and directed by Olivia Maloney and Cameron Dreyer, "You Are Beautiful," has very little dialogue. It follows a young girl, "Abbey," as she struggles with food and body image. When Olivia and Cameron were interviewed on the local news in Denver, they told the reporter it was their first time making a film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1oNeLhg_uI<http://www.mynewsletterbuilder.com/tools/refer.php?s=52c20456af5225c7710056b2&u=31130889&v=3&key=69a5&skey=ad75738f19&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Du1oNeLhg_uI>. It is so much better than the professional Elle Fanning Short film, "Likeness" about eating disorders going around which seems to glorify eating disorders while trying to raise awareness. (You will have to Google that film if you are interested.) For Professionals - Conferences/Online Courses/Study Groups/Events: Greenville, SC: Roadshow - Register Now for The Renfrew Center Foundation’s Professional Training in South Carolina – The False Self: The Complexity of Body Image and Identity Issues in the Treatment of Eating Disorders. The Renfrew Center Foundation is pleased to present a full-day seminar for health and mental health professionals. This seminar will address the intricate interplay between brain, body and beliefs (why we believe what we believe). Repetition of messages and experiences over time become internalized and influence not only self-perception and self-talk, but the body itself. Negative reinforcement often becomes so familiar that it feels “true” and, thus, is taken on by the client as her identity and imprinted in her bodymind. Attendees will learn body-focused strategies designed to help the client reclaim her “authentic” self and recover connection to her body. This seminar will utilize lecture, demonstration and experiential exercises, and video clips of work with clients. Additionally, a resource packet including hands-on tools will be provided. The seminar will be held Friday, January 17, 2014 from 9:00am – 4:00pm at The Westin Poinsett, 120 South Main Street, Greenville, SC 29601. 6 CE Credits offered. Seminar includes continental breakfast and networking lunch.

The Center for the Study of Anorexia and Bulimia presents their 2013-2014 Webinar Series for Professionals. Join CSAB for their first webinar in 2014 titled “Residential Care for Eating Disorders” with Theodore E. Weltzin, MD, FAED, FAPA on January 24th from 12-1 PM EST. Theodore E. Weltzin, MD, FAED, FAPA, is a leading authority in the treatment and research of eating disorders. He is a board-certified adult psychiatrist who has specialized in the field of eating disorders treatment for more than 20 years and holds several leadership positions and academic posts. He has been the medical director of Eating Disorder Services at Rogers Memorial Hospital since 2001. His presentation will discuss (1) that residential treatment does play a very important role for patients who are too severe or have not progressed in a lower level of care, (2) that within the residential setting with adequate length of stay, we see symptom reduction in a more severe patient sample that parallels that seen in an outpatient setting, and (3) how evidence overwhelmingly supports that this treatment is having a positive impact on the course of this illness. To register for Dr. Weltzin’s webinar, go to CSAB’s new website: http://icpnyc.org/csab/teleconfrenceswebinars/2013-2014-starting-september-2013/<http://www.mynewsletterbuilder.com/tools/refer.php?s=52c20456af5225c7710056b2&u=31130893&v=3&key=e6a0&skey=ad75738f19&url=http%3A%2F%2Ficpnyc.org%2Fcsab%2Fteleconfrenceswebinars%2F2013-2014-starting-september-2013%2F> You can view all the webinar topics in CSAB’s 2013-2014 webinar series at this link.

The aim of the program will be: To present the research and theoretical underpinning of these approaches, to illustrate how the theory relates to the practice of MFT and IFT in eating disorders and to describe the different ways of applying MFT principles and techniques in different clinical settings (e.g. outpatient or day programs). To illustrate through experiential group participation how families engage in MFT and IFT by using psycho-educational and therapeutic techniques relevant to treating eating disorders. To provide participants with the skills, knowledge and confidence in order to apply this model to their relevant clinical setting. They recommend that health professionals with an interest in working within an eating disorders multi-disciplinary team register for the program. Experience working with families is an advantage. They strongly recommend that if possible you attend with one or more of your team colleagues. They will be prioritizing group bookings.

This Webinar Training is for clinicians—therapists, nutritionists, treatment teams—who want to learn an innovative, clinically practical, client-friendly, effective and research-based set of tools to help clients recover from disordered eating and weight-related behaviors. Clinicians will receive a system that provides concrete steps and structure over the course of treatment for clients, across the ED continuum, to build deeper rapport and offer techniques to sustainably transform client beliefs, behaviors, and identity. Clients will learn to discover the deeply rooted symbolic language, the intended positive outcome, and the purpose being served in their beliefs and behaviors. Clients will also be able to access and accept their feelings more easily, restore intuitive eating abilities over time, and activate Self-care practices uniquely their own. By learning to satisfy unmet needs, ED behaviors diminish and clients can build meaning, trust, motivation, compassion and stability in their recovery. Decoding Processes include: Food Restriction/Eating Anxieties; Symbolic Food Cravings (Compulsive/Emotional Overeating/Bingeing); Weight/Size Obsessions; Body Judgments; Exercise Resistance; Compulsive Over-Exercise; and Compensatory Behaviors/Bulimia. Course includes: 24/7 Interactive Membership Site, client videos, content presentations, case consults, Clinician Manual and client handouts with MP3 meditations; live Q+A/Consultation Sessions, author interviews and Bonus Modules.

Other Resources: Lasagna For Lunch: Declaring Peace With Emotional Eating. By Mary Anne Cohen. The New York Center for Eating Disorders is pleased to announce the publication of Mary Anne Cohen's second book, Lasagna for Lunch: Declaring Peace with Emotional Eating. Her first book, French Toast For Breakfast, was published in 1995. Ms. Cohen is the Director of The New York Center for Eating Disorders and first coined the now popular term "emotional eating" back in 1982. Lasagna for Lunch chronicles Ms. Cohen's experiences as an eating disorder therapist for the past forty years. It is a behind the scenes account of what goes on in private between client and therapist to heal an eating disorder. According to Ms. Cohen, "For many people, loving food is safer than loving people. Food never leaves you, never rejects you, never criticizes you, never dies. It is the only relationship where we get to say when, where, and how much! No human relationship complies with our needs so absolutely." Lasagna for Lunch breaks new ground through an examination of frozen grief which is often at the root of emotional eating and how loss and mourning keep people stuck in the anesthesia of an eating disorder. She also covers the relationship between sexual abuse and substance abuse, Night Eating Syndrome, eating disorders in men, in pregnant women, and in older women. She explores techniques for recovery from Binge Eating, Obesity, Bulimia, Exercise Bulimia and Anorexia. This book helps people sink their teeth into life, not into excess food. Lasagna for Lunch and French Toast for Breakfast can be purchased directly from www.EmotionalEating.Org<http://www.mynewsletterbuilder.com/tools/refer.php?s=52c20456af5225c7710056b2&u=31130945&v=3&key=f371&skey=ad75738f19&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.EmotionalEating.Org> or through http://edreferral.com/books.htm<http://www.mynewsletterbuilder.com/tools/refer.php?s=52c20456af5225c7710056b2&u=31130949&v=3&key=2680&skey=ad75738f19&url=http%3A%2F%2Fedreferral.com%2Fbooks.htm>.
