Eating Disorder Masterclass #1 - An introduction to Body Dysmorphic Disorder

Presenter

Fran Beilharz, Clinical Psychologist, Mind Body Well

Masterclass topic

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a prevalent, yet highly misunderstood psychiatric disorder. While there is some overlap of BDD with the presentation and treatment of eating disorders, BDD requires specific assessment and unique considerations for recovery. The aim of this masterclass is to support clinicians working in the field of eating disorders and body image in better understanding BDD, with an introduction to assessment and treatment. This will include an overview of presentations, differential diagnosis, clinical features and assessment. Specific presentations of BDD will also be discussed, including working with individuals with muscle dysmorphia, and those seeking cosmetic surgery.

This masterclass will explore:

  • Assessment and diagnosis of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)

  • Differential diagnosis from other mental conditions

  • Introductory principals for BDD treatment

  • NOTE - This is an introductory webinar, Fran will also be offering a further workshop in the use of CBT in BDD treatment. This webinar will be a prerequisite for the extended workshop.
