EDeology: The People Behind Today's Eating Disorder Treatment Landscape21 Jan

Dialogue: Is eating disorder treatment evidence-based, heart-led, or some of both? Family-Based Treatment meets Somatic therapy

How do we know what is real? There is a growing number of treatment modalities, each with its own acronyms and catchphrases. There is also a large diversity of opinions around issues related to food, health, and eating disorder recovery. How do we know what treatment approach to follow?

In this dialogue, I have two guests who are both highly skilled and experienced in their respective, and very different, approaches. Abby Sarret-Cooper practices Family-Based Treatment and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, presents on these topics, and has studied under some of the most prominent leaders in these modalities. Rachel Lewis-Marlow is the director of the Embodied Recovery Institute, where she facilitates and trains clinicians in somatic, trauma-informed, and attachment-based treatment.

They each briefly touch on their modalities and share how they determine whether an approach is useful, what guides the way in which they approach clients, the roles of confrontation, gentleness, and top-down vs. bottom up approaches. In many ways, this is a conversation about the science and the art of psychotherapy.
