Broadstructure ofCBT-T
Psychoeducation and cognitive restructuring
Changing eating - exposure
Changing eating – Behavioural experiments
Maintaining alliance and motivation (reinforcement for change)
Body image work (avoidance = exposure;checking and comparison = behaviouralexperiments; mind-reading = surveys)
Reducing bingeing and purging - exposure work
Reducing emotional triggers tobulimic behaviours
Monitoring risks and safety
Measurement of outcome, discussion with patient, response to no change
Engage; assessmaintaining factors
Relapse prevention

Research in progress......• Impact of psychoeduational group on symptomswhilst awaiting treatment?
• Impact of KMS group on retention in treatment?
• Impact of KSM group on treatment outcome?
![Page 17: Norfolk Community Eating Disorders Research Updates](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/55630830d8b42a6f598b55b5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Previous researchConcerns delivering CBT Attitudes to manuals
![Page 18: Norfolk Community Eating Disorders Research Updates](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/55630830d8b42a6f598b55b5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Attitudes to manuals – key findings
• Low uptake and implementation of ED evidence-basedtreatment (e.g. Von Ranson, Wallace & Stevenson, 2013)
• Key issue in delivery is the use of manualised methods
• Use of CBT manuals enhances reported use of coretechniques (Waller et al, 2012)
• Little training in their use, limited use!
![Page 19: Norfolk Community Eating Disorders Research Updates](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/55630830d8b42a6f598b55b5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Attitudes to manuals• Variation in use - situational and demographicfactors
• Beliefs about their impact upon therapeutic processand outcomes
• Attitudes towards manuals can effect outcomes(CBT for CFS; Wiborg et al, 2012)
• In eating disorders?
![Page 20: Norfolk Community Eating Disorders Research Updates](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/55630830d8b42a6f598b55b5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Method
Participants• 125 qualified therapists in UK
Measures• Attitudes to Treatment Manuals Questionnaire• Brief Symptom Inventory
![Page 21: Norfolk Community Eating Disorders Research Updates](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/55630830d8b42a6f598b55b5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Findings
• Majority aware of manuals• Only half using them often or always• Those who did tended to be
- Older- Less negative about impact on process- Report positive outcomes / attitudes
• Negative attitudes associated with less familiarityand lower mood level- Beliefs about impact of manuals on process
![Page 22: Norfolk Community Eating Disorders Research Updates](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/55630830d8b42a6f598b55b5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Implications1. Address therapist concerns about impact upon
therapeutic process in manuals (e.g.emphasising need for good alliance)
2. Ensure clinicians are familiar with manuals
3. Changing attitudes via supervision – encouragingexperimentation to see whether their use resultsin positive attitudes to structured psychologicaltreatment
![Page 23: Norfolk Community Eating Disorders Research Updates](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/55630830d8b42a6f598b55b5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Clinicians’ concerns delivering CBT• Evidence-based interventions under-used in ED
? Unaware of evidence base? (Meehl, 1986)
? Beliefs and attitudes about evidence-basedtreatments? (Shafran et al., 2009)?
? Level of training, competence and supervision ?(Fairburn & Wilson, 2013)
![Page 24: Norfolk Community Eating Disorders Research Updates](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/55630830d8b42a6f598b55b5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Method
Participant• 113 clinicians
Measures• 14 elements of CBT• Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale
![Page 25: Norfolk Community Eating Disorders Research Updates](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/55630830d8b42a6f598b55b5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Findings
• 4 distinct concerns
1. Process2. Education3. Cognitive4. Exposure
• Most worrying:• Body image work• Ending treatment
• Least worrying:• psychoeduation
![Page 26: Norfolk Community Eating Disorders Research Updates](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/55630830d8b42a6f598b55b5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Findings cont....
Clinician traits:• Older , more experienced clinicians less worried
• No general link between trait anxiety and concerns abouttechniques but
• Prospective anxiety = more concern re cognitive /exposure elements of change
• P and Inhib anxiety = more concern process-related elements (motivation / endings)
![Page 27: Norfolk Community Eating Disorders Research Updates](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/55630830d8b42a6f598b55b5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Implications• Importance of clinician’s own cognitions andemotions and their impact upon treatment:
• Prospective anxiety – less likely to use the impactladen interventions?- Cognitive restructuring- Behavioural experiments- Weighing & dietary change
• Inhibitory anxiety – less likely to manage endingsappropriately and extend treatment unnecessarily?

And finally, ideas for the future.....?• Patients’ views of (CPA) motivational assessmentletters
• Development of an ED / Diabetes measure
• Supervisor competencies / development of adisorder specific CTRS?
