Summary and Discussion
IntroductionCCI Eating Disorders Programme
Part of CCI - clinical services, training & applied clinical
research; staffed by clinical psychologists
New (2005). The first public eating disorders service for
adults in WA
Treating people 16 and over
Out-patient
Referrals - GPs and Psychiatrists
Clinic - Northbridge (central Perth)
Fairburn’s model of CBT-E
Background - Eating Disorders
Eating Disorders are serious mental illnesses
onset in teens (AN: 14-16; BN 16-20)
traditionally difficult to treat
better prognosis if treated early (first 6 months)
if untreated, can become chronic conditions with
significant morbidity
AN: highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder
poor treatment outcomes; high dropout rates
Evidence-based Treatment
Anorexia Nervosa (little research):
NICE could not recommend one single treatment for
AN based on solid research
NICE suggested family therapy (with focus on ED)
might be helpful for adolescents
Bulimia Nervosa (extensive research):
NICE recommended CBT for BN, based on solid
research
NICE also suggested IPT as possible alternative, and
anti-depressants (but no other medications)
EDNOS: no research
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Focus on factors that maintain the disorder (rather than the triggers)
Emphasis on both behavioural and cognitive change
Therapeutic relationship based on collaborative empiricism
Time-limited treatment
CBT-E: Overview
Based on Fairburn’s original CBT model for BN
Extensive research showing his (original) CBT is the most effective treatment for BN, but:
Original CBT - still only 30-50% success rate
No evidence-based treatment protocols for AN or EDNOS
CBT-E: Overview…..
Fairburn has improved (enhanced) his original treatment protocol:
transdiagnostic (applicable to AN & EDNOS; extended treatment for low-weight)
more successful outcome (70+%)
fewer drop-outs
CBT-E: Treatment interventions (1)
Traditional CBT (with a twist!):
Assessment
Engagement
Psycho-education
Establishment of regular eating
In-session weighing
Homework: self-monitoring
CBT-E: Treatment interventions (2)
Additional/enhanced interventions:
Construction of a formulation
Achieving meta-cognitive change
Additional maintaining mechanisms
CBT-E Interventions
Construction of a formulation
exclusive focus on the ED and maintaining mechanisms (vicious cycle)
forms the basis of treatment
created jointly, drawn out; patient takes a copy; it’s on the table every session
modified as treatment progresses
BULIMIA NERVOSA
Binge eating
Compensatory vomiting/laxative
misuse/driven exercise
Events and associated mood change
Over-evaluation of control over eating, shape or weight
Strict dieting; dietary rules
ANOREXIA NERVOSA
Over-evaluation of control over eating, shape or weight
Strict dieting; dietary rules
Features of under-eating and a low weight e.g., being inward-looking and preoccupied, social withdrawal, heightened fullness
MIXED
Strict dieting; dietary rules
Binge eating
Compensatory vomiting/laxative
misuse/driven exercise
Features of under-eating + low weight
Events and associated mood change
Over-evaluation of control over eating, shape or weight
Metacognitive awareness
Being aware of one’s thought processes
Taking a “helicopter view”
Taking a step back and looking at oneself
Asking: “What’s going on?” and “What do I need to do?”
CBT-E: Interventions
• Achieving meta-cognitive change
• Addressing over-evaluation of control over weight/shape by:
–Traditional cognitive restructuring
–Behavioural experiments
–Eating disorder “mindset”/DVD
–Body checking/avoidance
CBT-E: Interventions (5)
Additional maintaining mechanisms that are addressed where applicable:
– Core low self-esteem
– Clinical perfectionism
– Mood intolerance
– Interpersonal difficulties
