Program
For all Healthcare Professionals who wish to develop skills, knowledge and/or certification in the treatment of Eating Disorders Eating disorders are very complex disorders. Over the years, we have often heard from our colleagues that they feel ill-prepared for dealing with this client group and/or their families. At New Realities, we have successfully treated individuals with eating and their families. We are now offering the opportunity to other healthcare professionals to become prepared to work with this client group. The training is open to anyone who is interested in learning the theory and skills. The Basic Clinical Training is offered to those not seeking certification. The Advanced Clinical Training is a certification program that is suitable for Psychotherapists, Psychologists, Physicians, Counsellors, Social Workers, Addiction Counsellors, Nurses, Dietitians, Occupational Therapists and other Healthcare Professionals Basic Clinical Training is a 6 month part-time program consisting of three 3-day weekends (Friday to Sunday). Advanced Clinical Training is a 12 month part-time program consisting of the Basic Clinical Training plus an additional three 3-day weekends (Friday to Sunday)
Participants will: · Develop assessment skills with eating disordered clients · Develop skills in experiential treatment technique · Increase knowledge of the complexities of the underlying issues of eating disorders Objectives for Advanced Clinical Training · Integrate skills and knowledge acquired in Basic Clinical ·Develop advanced experiential treatment techniques · Learn about common co-morbidities · Develop skills for working with families · Become more aware of ethical considerations
Experiential therapies include psychodrama, art therapy, dance and movement therapy, music therapy and guided imagery. These therapies access right brain function and then the left brain makes conscious sense out of the material that emerges. They allow eating disordered clients them to express their emotions through a nonverbal medium. Why Adlerian Psychology and Eating Disorders Adlerian psychology looks at the person as a whole and the whole person including social functioning, work/school, familial functioning, self esteem and spirituality. Adlerian treatment focuses on healing the underlying issues behind the eating disorder and the purpose it seems to serve. The theory is teleological or goal-directed because Adler believed that people are constantly striving to meet some real or fictional goal in life. With an eating disordered client, some of the perceptions can be mistaken and therefore, lead to self-destructive behaviors. Adlerian treatment techniques can redirect the client to a realization and reframing of these mistaken goals.
