Not Fitting Neatly: Recognizing and Understanding OSFED

Wednesday, June 10, 2026 • 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm (ET)

Free | Professional Webinar
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm (ET)

Presented by: Samantha DeCaro, PsyD - Director of Clinical Outreach & Education, The Renfrew Center

Held Online

This webinar will explore Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED), a common yet often misunderstood eating disorder diagnosis that encompasses presentations falling outside the classic AN, BN, or BED criteria. Attendees will learn to recognize the wide range of OSFED presentations, including “atypical” anorexia nervosa, subthreshold bulimia and binge eating disorder, purging disorder, and night eating syndrome, as well as the diagnostic challenges and clinical implications when symptoms do not fit neatly into traditional categories.

The session will cover current research, assessment tools, and evidence-based treatment approaches, with a focus on transdiagnostic interventions, practical clinical application, and strategies for addressing the nuances of this diagnosis.
