This episode was recorded in January 2023! I’m joined by Kelsey Gilbert a fifth-year doctoral candidate in clinical psychology. Her dissertation focused on the impact of weight stigma in eating disorder treatment for individuals with "atypical" anorexia nervosa. One of Kelsey's aims in her clinical work and research is to amplify the voices of clients silenced by weight stigma and enhance healthcare professionals' understanding of "atypical" anorexia as a significant eating disorder deserving of treatment.
In this episode we discuss:
Weight stigma
Atypical anorexia
Difference between anorexia and atypical anorexia
Advice for clinicians working with atypical anorexia
Limitations of the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)
