I’m a clinical psychologist, licensed psychotherapist, certified clinical supervisor in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and associated professor. I have worked with eating disorders – in every possible approach – for 25 years now. That includes epidemiological studies of risk factors for developing eating disorders in school girls, development and implementation of new CBT treatment protocols for patients with obesity and co-morbid eating disorders, clinical work with patients with eating disorders etc etc. I work with elite athletes with eating disorders and I am a clinical supervisor at specialized treatment units for eating disorders. I am currently working with the research group MUSIC (Musculoskeletal & Sports Injury Epidemiology Center) at Karolinska Institutet – starting up what will be the world’s largest cohort study on modifiable risk factors for mental illness and pain among university students. I also work clinically at my own private practice in Uppsala, Sweden. My main work is with clients with eating disorders and the majority of my clients are athletes.
Dr. Edlund will give her presentation of approximately 40 minutes, and then there will be possibilities for questions and discussion. In our last webinar (December 2017) we only used written questions, but this time we will try to use oral questions as well.
