iaedp Symposium 2015



iaedp Symposium 2015 Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort
Phoenix, AZ
March 19 - March 23, 2015

Call for Proposals

There are many changes that will influence our work with patients. The DSM5, neuroscience advances, new research, and a new healthcare system, to mention a few. We are seeking abstracts on inventive treatment modalities for the numerous phases of the eating disordered client's journey-- from denial and resistance to treatment and, ultimately, recovery. The spectrum ranging from disordered eating to life threatening medical complications requires skill and creativity. Treatment providers from all disciplines are challenged to creatively convert ongoing research, brain imaging, and treatment updates into meaningful ED treatment protocols. We are seeking submittals on individual, group, and family work which help clinicians in all treatment settings. Please include an experiential or interactive component in your presentation. Preference will be given to unique presentations offered for the first time.

A peer review committee is responsible for making the final selections for Symposium 2015. This committee will consider the quality of the submittal, the speaker's experience and qualifications to speak on the abstract submitted, relevance to the conference theme, and the applicability of the presentation to both inpatient and outpatient settings. We are seeking abstract submittals for 3 hour intensive sessions. (Some presenters may be asked to accept a 1.5 or 2 hour session slot.)

All abstracts must be submitted online. Only the submittals that are complete will be considered. The call opens March 2, 2014 and closes at midnight on Monday, August 18, 2014.
