Upcoming Webinars

Description:

Binge eating is prevalent among males, but is frequently underdiagnosed due to stigma, shame, and lack of recognition from healthcare providers. In this webinar, jointly sponsored by the Binge Eating SIG and the Males & Eating Disorders SIG, we will discuss current research on the presentation of binge eating among males; review screening, assessment and diagnostic issues with an eye towards gender-related differences in disclosure patterns and contextual factors; and consider ways to tailor evidence based treatments to improve reach and relevancy. The webinar will be led by expert clinicians and researchers who focus specifically on maladaptive eating in males, and will include a case presentation and interactive components.
