EMDR in the treatment of eating disorders

This presentation will discuss the relevance of EMDR in the treatment of eating disorders generally before focussing specifically on its role in the treatment of anorexia. EMDR is utilised as part of a treatment package which recognises the complex nature of anorexia. EMDR is integrated with other approaches including dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. A case series of 10 individuals with anorexia will be presented together with some detailed practical information about the use of EMDR with this group.
