utilized in the treatment of eating disorders.

The research discussed throughout this presentation explains how, when used

- 00:42 - 00:45
Beginning at one, what is an eating disorder.
- 00:46 - 00:49
Eating disorders involve an obsession with food, weight and appearance.
- 00:50 - 00:53
This obsession has a negative impact on people's health relationships
- 00:54 - 00:55
and day to day living.
- 00:56 - 00:59
In order to be diagnosed with an eating disorder, the
- 00:59 - 01:02
individual must have distorted eating and psychological disturbance.
- 01:04 - 01:07
There are three main types of eating disorders we will
- 01:07 - 01:11
touch on today, anorexia nervosa is the most fatal eating
- 01:12 - 01:15
disorder. It is characterized by an intense irrational fear of
- 01:15 - 01:17
gaining weight and having body fat.
- 01:18 - 01:21
Individuals see themselves as overweight even if they are below
- 01:21 - 01:22
the normal weight for their age and height.
- 01:23 - 01:26
People with bulimia experience cycles of binging and purging.
- 01:27 - 01:30
Binging involves consuming large quantities of food in a very
- 01:30 - 01:32
short period of time before purging themselves.
- 01:34 - 01:39
Purging involves self induced vomiting, food deprivation, exercising extensively or
- 01:40 - 01:45
abusing the use of laxatives, binge eating disorders, also known
- 01:45 - 01:45
as B.
- 01:45 - 01:45
E. D.
- 01:46 - 01:50
Involves people over eating compulsively consuming large amounts of food
- 01:50 - 01:53
in one sitting similar to the other eating disorders.
- 01:54 - 01:55
Individuals with B.
- 01:55 - 01:55
E. D.
- 01:55 - 01:57
Often feel out of control and powerless.
- 02:00 - 02:03
Here are some statistics of eating disorders in Canada, courtesy
- 02:03 - 02:08
of the National eating disorder Information center, nearly one million
- 02:09 - 02:12
individuals are diagnosed with an eating disorder at any given
- 02:12 - 02:16
time. While one and two people report knowing someone with
- 02:16 - 02:20
an eating disorder, 91 of people believe the media sets
- 02:20 - 02:25
unrealistic expectations for body size and one in three people
- 02:25 - 02:28
admit they wouldn't recognize signs of an eating disorder in
- 02:28 - 02:29
someone else.
- 02:30 - 02:33
Okay, what is dialectical behavior therapy?
- 02:34 - 02:37
This is an evidence based model of therapy that assists
- 02:37 - 02:39
people to learn new skills and strategies.
- 02:40 - 02:42
These strategies involve acceptance and change.
- 02:44 - 02:47
The standard DVT program requires a minimum of a one
- 02:47 - 02:50
year commitment, although individuals may seek shorter programs referred to
- 02:51 - 02:52
as DVT informed programs.
- 02:53 - 02:56
Typose DVT programs have five components.
- 02:57 - 03:01
DBT Skills training group is facilitated by a skills therapist
- 03:01 - 03:02
in a group format.
- 03:03 - 03:05
These classes take place once a week and teach mindfulness
- 03:06 - 03:10
to stress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness and emotional regulation.
- 03:11 - 03:16
Individual psychotherapy focuses on enhancing motivation and working on individual
- 03:16 - 03:20
goals with the client in the moment, coaching involves receiving
- 03:20 - 03:25
support from therapist during a stressful event via telephone case
- 03:26 - 03:26
management strategies.
- 03:27 - 03:29
Empower the client to take control of their lives.
- 03:30 - 03:34
While a DVT consultation team provides support to those providing
- 03:34 - 03:38
DVT to ensure their main motivated and competent while providing
- 03:38 - 03:39
treatment to clients.
- 03:41 - 03:47
The research article called implementation of dialectical behavior therapy in
- 03:47 - 03:49
a day hospital setting for adolescents with eating disorders.
- 03:50 - 03:55
Hypothesizes that using DBT while also using family behavior therapy
- 03:56 - 03:59
would benefit eating disorder patients in the day hospital program
- 04:00 - 04:03
by addressing the antioxidants that results in maladaptive behavior.
- 04:05 - 04:08
They also proposed that DBT has the ability to address
- 04:09 - 04:11
multiple psychological calm robberies.
- 04:13 - 04:18
Various adaptations were created based on traditional DVD to describe
- 04:18 - 04:22
specific eating disorder behaviours to use on the 24 participants
- 04:23 - 04:27
with varying eating disorders enrolled in the day hospital program.
- 04:28 - 04:31
Mhm. The research found that DVT may be more effective
- 04:32 - 04:34
than FBT in the treatment of eating disorders.
- 04:35 - 04:39
FBT focuses on setting limitations on the participants, while DBT
- 04:40 - 04:44
emphasizes support from parents when distress is experienced by the
- 04:44 - 04:48
patient. All in all results show that DVT integrated with
- 04:48 - 04:53
FBT led to improved patient outcomes, bingeing and purging was
- 04:53 - 04:57
reduced discharge weight and percentage of ideal body weight significantly
- 04:58 - 04:59
increased throughout treatment.
- 05:00 - 05:02
A majority of patients did not require re admission into
- 05:03 - 05:03
the D.
- 05:03 - 05:03
H. P.
- 05:03 - 05:05
Program within a two year period.
- 05:08 - 05:11
Now, how does eating disorders and behavior analysis tied together?
- 05:12 - 05:16
Well, when paired with family behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy
- 05:16 - 05:18
has been shown to be more effective.
- 05:19 - 05:22
DBT used a step in the prompt hierarchy to model
- 05:23 - 05:26
being supportive and calm while the participant is in distress.
- 05:27 - 05:31
This allows the participant to observe socially significant behaviors being
- 05:32 - 05:36
modeled while addressing emotional and mental issues and DVT through
- 05:36 - 05:39
conversation, the participant will examine what led to the behavior
- 05:40 - 05:40
they engaged in.
- 05:41 - 05:43
For example, if they had a bad day at work
- 05:44 - 05:47
that may explain their binge eating that evening from behavior
- 05:47 - 05:50
analysts point of view, it is important to understand the
- 05:50 - 05:54
three term contingency, identifying the antioxidant and consequence will help
- 05:55 - 05:57
us understand the circumstances in which it has been reinforced
- 05:58 - 05:58
or punished.
- 05:59 - 06:02
For example, if the participant does not experience any immediate
- 06:03 - 06:06
consequences after engaging and purging, there are more likely to
- 06:06 - 06:07
engage in this act again.
- 06:10 - 06:12
When the antecedent has been identified, we can begin to
- 06:13 - 06:14
manipulate them to evoke desirable behavior.
- 06:16 - 06:19
For example, this may look like presenting the participants with
- 06:19 - 06:22
smaller, more frequent meals if they are suffering from bulimia,
- 06:23 - 06:26
this may be encouraging for the individual to consume food
- 06:26 - 06:28
on a regular basis, as they are always being presented
- 06:29 - 06:29
with frequent portions.
- 06:30 - 06:36
Remember Abia helps behavior professionals to understand how behavior is
- 06:36 - 06:40
affected by the environment while also establishing and enhancing socially
- 06:41 - 06:42
significant behaviors.
- 06:44 - 06:47
These points are all reiterate the relevance of Abba when
- 06:48 - 06:52
treating an eating disorder as we arrived to the conclusion
- 06:53 - 06:53
of this presentation.
