I just returned home from a the International Conference on Eating Disorders in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. WOW! What an amazing and stimulating conference. Sessions were jam packed with the latest in research, science, and treatment of eating disorders. Some of the highlights (in my opinion!)
* A great keynote by Dr. Brewerton addressing the similarities amongst diagnoses particularly traits of neuroticism and anxiety disorders
* Fantastic and cutting edge research looking at eating disordered behaviors from the U-SHAPE study (sponsored by the U of M and Center for Eating Disorders) which will change the way we intervene, educate, and treat college students!
* A fabulous plenary looking at the misdiagnosed and often misunderstood male population suffering from eating disorders
And finally, I was honored to be a part of a panel examining the use of technology in the treatment of eating disorders. More and more, we are learning how people rely on obtaining information from the Internet and are seeking resources to help them online. What types of resources would be beneficial for you?
