First Steps in CBT-E: A practical guide for clinicians

United States · CPD courses & CPD points · Health Professionals

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E) is a leading evidence-based approach developed specifically for the treatment of eating disorders. In this foundational webinar - the first in a comprehensive training series - Lauren Aron, provides clinicians with an accessible and practical introduction to CBT-E.

Designed for both new and experienced practitioners, this module focuses on the early phase of treatment. Participants will learn how to conduct a targeted assessment, establish a collaborative therapeutic alliance, and use motivational techniques tailored to eating disorder clients. Drawing from established protocols and rich clinical experience, Lauren illustrates the process through real-world examples, including a detailed case study of ‘Rebecca.’

This training includes step-by-step guidance on early psychoeducation, case formulation, and structured eating practices. It also introduces motivational interviewing techniques as critical tools for engaging clients and building readiness for change. This module serves as the foundation for future sessions in the CBT-E training series, which will cover core interventions, body image work, and relapse prevention.

Learning Outcomes:

• Understand the foundational principles and clinical rationale behind CBT-E as a specialised treatment model.

• Conduct an initial eating disorder-specific assessment and develop a collaborative case formulation.

• Use early psychoeducation to engage clients and normalise symptoms.

• Apply practical strategies for introducing structured eating and addressing ambivalence using motivational interviewing techniques.

• Build a strong therapeutic alliance that supports long-term engagement in CBT-E.
