13.02.’26
Het postgraduaat partnerrelatie-, gezins- en systeempsychotherapie (GHALL/UGent) en Eetexpert organiseren samen deze studiedag ter ere van het 15-jarig bestaan van het postgraduaat en het 25-jarig bestaan van Eetexpert.
On this study day, Dr. Mima Simic and dr. Julian Baudinet will guide us through the core approaches of anorexia nervosa–focused family therapy (FT-AN) and multi-family therapy (MFT-AN). FT-AN, developed at London’s Maudsley Centre for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders, is one of the most effective, evidence-based interventions for adolescents with anorexia nervosa. MFT-AN is a powerful extension of this family-based approach, bringing several families together to share experiences and support one another in treatment.
Participants will learn about the key principles of these therapies and how they are applied in practice. Dr. Simic and dr. Baudinet will discuss both the scientific background and the practical application of FT-AN and MFT-AN, highlighting the most important developments of the past decade. There will also be room for questions and discussion.
Whether you are new to these approaches or looking for an update on recent progress, this study day offers valuable insights into how families can be empowered to support recovery in young people with anorexia nervosa.
