How to Treat Patients with ARFID via Telehealth by Dr. Jennifer Thomas & Elissa Chakoff

 
This webinar will provide a specialized introduction to a new form of cognitive-behavioral therapy for ARFID (CBT-AR) that has been developed and refined at Massachusetts General Hospital for patients ages 10 through older adults. Early data from an efficacy study indicate that, on average, patients who receive CBT-AR incorporate many novel foods into their regular diets, gain significant weight (if underweight), and significantly reduce both ARFID symptom severity and food neophobia. The presentation will cover the assessment of ARFID, the implementation of all four stages of treatment, and clinical, technical and safety considerations when delivering this treatment via telehealth. Finally, opportunities for leveraging digital tools to augment and enrich CBT-AR will be discussed.
