Description

This workshop focuses clinicians’ attention on perhaps the most frequently occurring eating disorder: compulsive overeating and binge-eating disorder – people who are addicted to food and have a long-standing weight problem. We will look at the underlying psychodynamics of dieting, and offer a hypothesis as to why this approach to the problem has failed so many people and has added to the despair and sense of humiliation these people suffer. More importantly, we will look at the underlying object relations of people who are addicted to food, and we will discuss some of the core issues.
