Webinar Description:

At this presentation, participants will gain a better understanding of the nature of anorexia nervosa (AN), as well as the process of remission and recovery. Participants will learn about the medical narrative and its impact on the healing process for clients with AN. Participants will learn also about how a meaning-centered approach can provide helpful tools and strategies for supporting clients with AN in the context of counselling and psychotherapy. Additionally, the presentation will engage participants in examining some of the following themes:  –   Historical Overview of AN; Clinical and Etiological Features of AN; Medicalization of AN; Recovery, Remission and Relapse in AN; Theories on Meaning in Life and Meaning-Making Processes, and; the Presence, and Search for, Meaning in Life in AN.

This presentation will provide participants with conceptual and clinical examples (e.g., case study and potential role-plays). Emphasis will be given to using a meaning-centered framework in assessing, conceptualizing, and working with clients diagnosed with AN.
