23rd- 24th February, 2012 at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead

The Maudsley mode,  developed at the Maudsley hospital in London and was manualised in 2001 integrates ideas from a number of family therapy approaches but has the basic premise that families have the resources to help their child recover from anorexia nervosa in the home setting. The model is suitable for adolescents with Anorexia Nervosa with a short course of illness (less than 3 years). It is an outpatient treatment that supports the family over a 1 year period.  

WORKSHOP CONTENT

The aim of this workshop will be to provide intensive practical training in the application of this model including:

• Theoretical background
• Detailed description of each session
• Role play scenarios
• Macro and micro skill development
  
  

By the completion of this workshop participants should be able to begin to incorporate the Maudsley model into their own practice.
