8th London International Eating Disorder Conference

I've just spent a very enjoyable couple of days attending this conference and presenting our latest research on links between HIV and eating problems.
Highlights which I will try to report on in more depth over the next few days included Mark Williams' opening keynote (an excellent summary of the development of mindfulness approaches in depression with some intriguing ideas about how these could be relevant in eating disorders), Kate Tchanturia's plenary and workshop on approaches to rigidity and inflexibility including the use of Cognitive Remediation Therapy, and Ken Nunn's wonderfully approachable and entertaining guide to neurobiology 'Everything you ever wanted to know about the brain in 90 minutes'.
