About the Training

This continuing education presentation will explore the assessment, treatment, and challenges of lesser-known and unofficial eating disorders. Attendees will learn the distinctions between eating disorders and disordered eating, as well as risk factors and key symptoms of OSFED (i.e., atypical anorexia and night eating syndrome), ARFID, orthorexia, diabulimia, food and alcohol disturbance, and unique eating issues in athletes.

The session will cover assessment tools, current research, and treatment approaches, including levels of care and the expansion of traditional interdisciplinary teams. A focus will be placed on transdiagnostic tools to target emotional avoidance alongside valuable resources for mental health professionals.
