CBT-E Adolescents Masterclass

Posted Friday 19 July 2024 | BodyMatters Australasia

Psychologist and BodyMatters Director Sarah McMahon presents a one-day workshop on Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT-E) for Adolescents. 

CBT-E offers a promising new evidence based treatment framework for adolescents recovering from eating disorders. Similar to the adult version of CBT-E, the adolescent version is a personalised intervention that targets key maintaining features of eating disorders and provides an additional framework for working with an adolescent client, including involving family members as support. It is an individual treatment designed to enhance an adolescent’s agency and autonomy, build engagement and can be applied transdiagnostically. This one-day workshop will support you to apply this model of treatment.
