| Extra Info | : | Bodies, body troubles and eating issues are centre stage in many people’s lives. They come into the therapy and can perplex clinicians. They may stimulate body and food issues that exist for the clinician. This day will look at new approaches to the body, introduces a new diagnostic tool the BODI (Body Observational Diagnostic Interview) and will provide therapists and supervisors with ample time to discuss the issues that arise for them in the therapy. How far do we as supervisors understand these complexities within the relationship between therapist and client?
