EARN 4.5 NYS CE CREDITS
Are you equipped to spot the subtle, early warning signs of an eating disorder before a formal diagnosis is ever made?
Early intervention is critical, yet real-world presentations rarely match textbook definitions. To bridge this gap, the Center for the Study of Anorexia and Bulimia (CSAB) invites you to a three-session, interactive online seminar hosted by the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP).
Led by Jacob Pine, LCSW, CSAB Co-Division Director, this live Zoom program is offered only once per year. Designed for a multidisciplinary network of frontline professionals—including therapists, physicians, school counselors, and other clinicians—it provides 4.5 NYS continuing education credits for eligible participants.
With more than 15 years of specialized experience, Jacob will guide participants through the complex gray areas of eating-disorder diagnosis. Through real-world clinical examples, case-based discussion, participant Q&A, and peer conversation, the seminar moves beyond standard diagnostic criteria to explore how eating disorders may present in actual practice.
Whether you are seeking advanced clinical insights or foundational screening tools, this seminar offers practical information you can apply when recognizing and evaluating possible eating disorders.
Key Learning Objectives
· Analyze Clinical Distinctions: Formulate boundaries between chronic disordered eating patterns and full clinical eating disorders.
· Evaluate Subclinical Cases: Master tools to assess atypical or subclinical presentations that fall outside strict DSM criteria.
· Target Age-Specific Red Flags: Recognize early warning signs and behavioral indicators across distinct age groups, from children to adults.
· Strengthen Your Frontline Screening Skills
· Develop greater confidence in recognizing complex presentations and connect with a multidisciplinary network of peers.
