  Participants will develop a working knowledge of the principles and practices involved in the assessment and diagnosis of eating disorders; including Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Bulimia nervosa (BN), Binge Eating Disorder (BED), Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), and Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders (OSFED). Participants will also learn about updates to eating disorder criteria in the DSM-5-TR, as well as where to draw the line between disordered eating and eating disorders. Additional topics will include how diet culture harms all of us, why dieting doesn’t work, anti-fat bias, and Health At Every Size (HAES).

  

  Educational Goal:

  The overarching objective of this class is for clinicians to obtain a foundational understanding of eating disorders and to better understand how to treat these complex disorders. Effective interventions for treating eating disorders will be reviewed, including Family-Based Treatment, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In addition, participants will learn the various ways diet culture shows up in our society and how we can collectively push back against this to help prevent problematic relationships with food, body, and exercise. Helpful resources for loved ones of those struggling with eating disorders will be shared with participants as well.

  

  Learning Objectives:

  1. Differentiate between disordered eating behaviors and diagnosable eating disorders using DSM-V-TR criteria.
  2. Identify one common stereotype and statistic associated with eating disorders and be able to list two comorbid mental health conditions often present in individuals with eating disorders.
  3. Explain one biological, one psychological, and one socio-cultural factor contributing to the development and maintenance of eating disorders.
  4. Propose at least one strategy aimed at challenging diet culture and reducing weight stigma in their clinical practice.

  Marlena Tanner is a registered dietitian with over seventeen years of experience treating all types of eating disorders. She herself is recovered and holds the additional credential as an eating disorder specialist and consultant through the international association of eating disorder professionals. Early in her career, she received specialized training from Dr. Francie White who was one of the founding mothers of eating disorder treatment in the field of dietetics. In 2010, Marlena created a partial hospitalization (PHP) program at the Central Coast Treatment Center in San Luis Obispo. She was the program manager of the IOP and PHP for many years. She provided individual medical nutrition therapy, trained staff, co-led supervision meetings, and worked closely with outside providers and insurance reviews. She also led groups focused on intuitive eating, nutrition education, body acceptance, weaving in therapeutic modalities from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

  Since 2010, she concurrently ran her own private practice focused on serving the Medi-Cal population, which did not have access to higher levels of care due to insurance constraints. Over the years, she saw such a need for more eating disorder care that she expanded to a group practice by hiring and training additional dietitians, an occupational therapist, and psychotherapist. She now exclusively runs this practice called the Yellow House Project in the beautiful coastal town of Morro Bay and offers trainings to other professionals interested in furthering their knowledge in this field. She continues to carry a full client load, recently focused more on older clients and those struggling with more severe co-occurring diagnoses and complex trauma as well as children who present with Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).

  On a personal note, Marlena lives on an avocado farm with her husband and 9-year-old son and enjoys writing a blog, playing tennis, and riding her road bike through the beautiful Central Coast. Her favorite thing in the world is being a mother.
