Reaching Out Against Eating Disorders
"TRUST: A Two Way Street"
What does trust have to do with eating disorders? Why is it sometimes easier to trust food than people or one’s self? Let’s talk about who we trust, who we don’t—and why. How vital is trust in relationships? And just as important, how vital is trust in your relationship to yourself? Come in with examples of what has worked for you, what hasn’t and why. We hope to have an engaging discussion of the role of trust in recovery and how you can take a step to finding trust in the relationships in your life, with yourself and with others.

Supervisory Study Group for Professionals:
The Interpersonal Treatment of Eating Disorders
Dr. Brisman is now running two supervisory groups regarding the interpersonal treatment of eating disorders. The supervisory groups are open to all professionals who are interested in the psychodynamic treatment of eating disorders. In particular, we discuss the need for direct intervention with problematic eating behaviors while attending to the ongoing question of what the intervention actually means to the patient. Cases are presented and readings supplement discussions.
Location: The group is not currently meeting. The groups are held at 330 W. 58th Street Suite 206. Please contact Dr. Judith Brisman at drjbrisman@edrcnyc.org or at 212-582-2217 if you are interested in more information.

Family Ties: What Hurts, Helps and Heals
The Renfrew Center Foundation 20th Annual Conference Presents:
Feminist Perspectives and Beyond ~ Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future
Currently there is much controversy regarding the role of parental involvement when a teenager has an eating-disorder. The question is not whether parents should be involved, but how. Approaches veer from direct intervention with food issues (active re-feeding) to parental disengagement from food struggles. Mothers and fathers and other family members can have crucial roles in the process of recovery. Just how parents and caretakers can help—or hurt—the recovery process will be discussed. Audience participation will be encouraged.
Date & Time: This is a past event.
Speakers: Dr. Judith Brisman, Dr. Judy Rabinor and Dr. Margo Maine
Location: Philadelphia Airport Marriott, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Information: For more information, please contact Debbie Lucker at 1-877-367-3383 or dlucker@renfrew.org.
