Chris Thornton & @drashleysolomon now addressing the #ICED2020 treatment plenary. @aedweb

Chris Thornton has introduced us to @DrStuartBMurray who is talking about the evidence base for anorexia nervosa. #ICED2020 @aedweb

Almost 2 million web hits when searching for 'evidence base treatment', according to @DrStuartBMurray #ICED2020 @aedweb

Definitions of evidence based treatment can vary across continents & colleagues, says @DrStuartBMurray #ICED2020 @aedweb

Key paper by @DrStuartBMurray #ICED2020 @aedweb cambridge.org/core/journals/…

We seem to be at a plateau in our ability to advance treatment outcomes for anorexia nervosa, says @DrStuartBMurray #ICED2020 @aedweb

201 registered trials for anorexia nervosa between Dec 2018 & Jan 2020, says @DrStuartBMurray #ICED2020 @aedweb

99 trials completed, only 41 published in journals, says @DrStuartBMurray who also acknowledges it's hard to agree what works. #ICED2020 @aedweb

@DrStuartBMurray notes caution on the use of the term 'evidence based treatment' & also keeping an eye on patient expectations. We still have a long way to go. #ICED2020 @aedweb

@drashleysolomon now introducing us to @LauraCollinsLM #ICED2020 @aedweb

@LauraCollinsLM speaks from personal experience of family based treatment (FBT) which, as she says, is hard. #ICED2020 @aedweb

@LauraCollinsLM is reflecting back on her experiences from 2002 & what it was like trying to find answers on evidence based treatment for eating disorders. #ICED2020 @aedweb

@LauraCollinsLM notes evidence based treatment can be in short supply, weakly applied and obstructed. #ICED2020 @aedweb

Evidence is a map, not a destination, says @LauraCollinsLM who highlights vulnerability of families. #ICED2020 @aedweb

@LauraCollinsLM says if research isn't being on taken on board for change its quality doesn't matter. #ICED2020 @aedweb

Chris Thornton of @RedleafPractice is now introducing us to Christopher Basten, Clinical Psychologist who is discussing therapeutic relationships in eating disorders. #ICED2020 @aedweb

Thanks to Clinical Psychologist Dr Christopher Basten for describing the evidence on the therapeutic alliance in eating disorders. #ICED2020 @aedweb

Now hearing from Dr Josie Geller of @CHEOSNews who will bring us through evidence based practice. #ICED2020 @aedweb

Dr Josie Geller of @CHEOSNews highlights humility & being aware of blind spots in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in evidence based practice. #ICED2020 @aedweb

Dr Josie Geller of @CHEOSNews reiterates earlier point from @LauraCollinsLM about need to listen to family and patient perspectives. #ICED2020 @aedweb

Dialogue about eating disorders is not just about the views of eloquent speakers at conferences, says Dr Josie Geller of @CHEOSNews. #ICED2020 @aedweb

Components of evidence based practice includes: i) engagement, collaborative relationship, ii) behavioural expectations e.g. food diaries & iii) skills - addressing function of eating disorder, says Dr Josie Geller of @CHEOSNews #ICED2020 @aedweb

Readiness is a key predictor of outcomes & we cannot get out of having difficult conversations. One protocol may not apply to all genders, or cultures, says Dr Josie Geller of @CHEOSNews who is addressing #ICED2020 @aedweb

Key points on collaboration from Dr Josie Geller of @CHEOSNews @UBC_Psychiatry at #ICED2020 @aedweb
