(#MFC32570) 7 MCE Hours for Licensed Social workers and MFTs (Marriage and Family Therapists) as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences Women, Food and Beauty: A Feminist Object Relations Approach Judy Lightstone, MFT Susie Orbach and others at the Women's Therapy Centre Institute in New York have been at the forefront of developing a body of feminist Object (or as they say, "Subject") Relations theoretical work that has been systematically applied to the treatment of eating disorders and problems. In our course, this theory will be interwoven with a practical approach for dealing with eating disturbances. You will learn to: 1. Challenge your client's body loathing and diet cycling instead of circling endlessly around the obsession. 2. Intervene into symptomatic behavior by empathically joining the client's experience the binge and/or purge or starvation. 3. Translate eating and body image symptoms from non-verbal communications into verbal language 4. Stay empathically attuned to the client's deep pain about their symptoms, while providing mirroring and containment as the information or feelings become symbolized and contextualized. 5. Apply this material toward the client's ultimate psychological growth.

It can present itself as a trance-like disavowal of the body or of real or perceived fat, and of behavior that feels completely disconnected from the client's sense of self. The behavior of binge eating and purging or starving, particularly in severe Bulilmia and Anorexia, can be experienced as anintrusion from a dissociated identity or ego state, and thus it may be particularly difficult to help the client feel the sense of agency necessary to our more typical interventions as therapists. In this course you will learn to: 1.Understand how eating and body image can be an intrinsic part of the dissociative sequestering of aspects of individual development in order to ensure emotional survival. 2. Translate certain eating and dissociative symptoms as manifestations of primitive attempts to communicate that which cannot yet be expressed verbally. 3. Respect the symptoms as a relatively healthy way of maintaining connections to needed caretakers 4. Work through the non-verbal metaphors to thenon-symbolized experiences they represent. 5. Enable our clients to access and integrate their dissociated internal "parts" and projections onto their bodies. 6. Use transference and countertransference material to examine and reconfigure the introjected family of origin. 7. Enable our clients to develop more self-enhancing ways of staying connected and communicating their needs and feelings.
