Family Treatment of Teen Eating Disorders in Complex Families

The pandemic has fueled a rise in adolescent eating disorders. Since inclusion of families is pivotal to successful treatment and families are often complex and nontraditional, treatment providers are asked to be specialty trained, multifaceted, and flexible in their approaches. This intermediate workshop focuses on eating disorder treatment challenged by use of pandemic-inspired video communication tools and diverse family backgrounds. Three cases with role plays demonstrate three evidence-based, family-involved treatments. Recommendations to increase self-efficacy with divorced/separated parents, parents raising LBGTQ youth, and parents with their own disordered eating are provided.
