June 30, 2017 Treating Eating Disorders as Substance Use Disorders? Wednesday, July 12, 2017 @ 3:00 - 4:30 pm ET (2 CT/1 MT/12 PT) Description: Given the complexity and nature of eating disorders, this presentation seeks to shed light on the growing continuum of research pointing to the “addictive” elements driving pathological overeating and the regulation of appetite. The notion that most eating disorders share commonalities with substance use disorders is not entirely new. However, the “addictive nature” of certain foods and substances, the biological and personality traits of the “addict,” and what these have in common with disordered eating is now evidence-based. This presentation will identify the specific “foods of abuse,” the interplay between biological, cultural, and psychological factors, and the evidence supporting this substance use thesis. The implications of adopting this perspective will also be addressed from a treatment perspective. Presenter: Marty Lerner, PhD Marty Lerner, PhD, is the CEO of the Milestones in Recovery Eating Disorders Program located in Cooper City, Florida.
