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.

For further information about SIGs, contact SIG Oversight Committee co-chairs Tom Hildebrandt (tom.hildebrandt@mssm.edu) or Carolyn Becker (carolyn.becker@trinity.edu).
