Special Interest Groups
AED's Special Interest Groups (SIGs) bring together members with
personal and professional interests in distinct areas of eating
disorders -- body image, family therapy, medical care and psychodynamic
psychotherapy, just to name a few. Each SIG organizes itself around
those specific activities that best serve its practitioner -- and
research-based constituencies. Many SIGs have separate meetings at the
annual AED conference. SIGs also support interesting, educational and
lively e-mail forums for information exchange.
Choosing to join a SIG may be one of the most important decisions of
your career.
How to join a SIG:
Contact the SIG Chair or Co-Chair. Contact information for each
SIG Chair/Co-Chair is available on specific SIG webpage (see
