CEDD : BREAKFAST MEETING : FRIDAY 9 MARCH - not available online until further notice

Thank you to all those who attended the sensational presentation this morning by Professor Stephan Zipfel MD, Professor of Medicine & Dean of Medical Education, Head Department of Internal Medicine VI (Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy) University Medical Hospital Tuebingen, and Vice Director, Centre of Nutrition, University Tuebingen-Hohenheim. Germany.  Professor Zipfel presented the results of the largest RCT of outpatient treatment for Anorexia Nervosa.  His group compared 40 sessions of Fairburn's CBT-E to A Manualised Focal Psychodynamic Therapy they have developed that targets attachment amougst other factors, to Treatment as Usual in the German outpatient system where patients routinely recieve 40 sessions from an experienced clinician.  The results were extremely impressive with all 3 therapies performing very well in terms of weight restoration, but with the Focal Psychotherpay outperfomring the others when a broader definition of recovery was engaged. 

This is the first time the results have been presented outside of Germany and they are yet to be published so unfortunately we are unable to publish Professor Zipfels' work on the website at this time.

We did however record it and as soon as he informs us that we have permission to publish we will add it to the online learning, breakfast meeting section.
