Objectives for Advanced Clinical Training
Why Experiential Therapies and Eating Disorders 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.
