I currently have a couple of slots available to see people who would like to work on their eating difficulties using a cognitive behavioural approach. I see clients near Kings Cross in central London. If you’re interested in hearing more about the way I work, please email me
Volunteers are needed for a research project within the University of Nottingham to investigate the factors associated with eating disorders in women of 35 and above . Women who are 35 or older are invited to participate in this on-line e-interview study. Please contact Kay at lwxkw@nottingham.ac.uk if you might be interested and for further details.
I've just heard about an eating disorders online support group, sponsored by Milestones, an eating disorders program based in North Miami Beach. The group is open to anyone looking for eating disorder information and supportand has over 1300 members. The forum can be accessed at www.groups.yahoo.com/group/milestonesinrecovery.
It seems like a pretty active list and well worth a look.

If you're looking for a support group to get help with an eating disorder, Joanna Poppink's excellent site has a very useful listing of groups across the USA and internationally.
I get many questions from readers about how to get the best help for an eating disorder. This post is an attempt to summarise some useful pointers.
Of course, the process for getting help varies in different countries, but in most parts of the world, the best place to start is with your general practitioner (GP) or family doctor. You may get a varying response, depending on the doctor's knowledge and skill in dealing with EDs. He or she may have good ideas about treatment, may offer treatment him or herself, or make a referral to another service.
Remedyfind is a free, non-commercial site that lets individuals rate the effectiveness of the treatments they have used for particular health conditions. Its owner, Brett Hodges, started it 3 years ago to try to find help with treatments for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. After doing the CFS section he realized the same approach could also work for other chronic health conditions and has recently added an eating disorders section.
A paper describing Myra Cooper, Adrian Wells and Gillian Todd's new model of bulimia has just come out in the British Journal of Clinical Psychology.
This question is one of the most commonly asked by students, researchers and sufferers alike. It's also one of the hardest to get information on, so I thought that as I needed to put together this information for another purpose, I'd also post it here. I'm very grateful to Laura Currin, researcher at the Institute of Psychiatry who helped me out with much of this information.
The Eating Disorders Association and the Bethlem Royal Hospital (South London and Maudsley NHS Trust) are co-organising a conference for carers of people with eating disorders. The conference will begin on Friday evening with an informal networking event for carers and professionals, followed by a day of presentations and discussions on Saturday.
You can book a place through Christine Hallams, Fitzmary One, Bethlem Royal Hospital, Monks Orchard Rd, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 3BX or via the EDA website, which also has the full programme and details of last year's conference.
