Duke Eating Disorders Program
The Duke
Eating Disorders Program is a multidisciplinary program which includes
specialists from medical psychology, nutrition, psychiatry, social work,
pediatrics, family medicine, and endocrinology. The program specializes
in the comprehensive outpatient treatment of anorexia nervosa, bulimia
nervosa, binge eating disorder, childhood feeding disorders, and other
forms of eating and body image disturbance for individuals from early
childhood to late adulthood. Our treatment model emphasizes empirically
validated interventions and includes individual and family
psychotherapies, group therapies, parent support interventions,
nutritional counseling, and medical and psychopharmacological
management.
Initially,
anyone who seeks treatment at the Duke Eating Disorder Program undergoes
a thorough evaluation that includes a psychological interview and
questionnaires, nutrition assessment, and medical exam. Based on the
results of the initial assessment, potential patients are presented with
an individualized treatment plan that includes recommendations for
services and specific areas of skill development that are likely to be
particularly beneficial. Follow-up visits are then scheduled
accordingly.
