Eating Disorders 2005, the 7th London Conference on Eating Disorders will be held at Imperial College, London, UK from 4th-6th April 2005.
The full programme is now available online.
I am really looking forward to a workshop entitled 'Working with identity and values: An introduction to narrative practice with eating disorders' by Jones, Borden and McCormack, having had my excitement about the use of narrative approaches in eating disorders re-kindled by reading Biting the Hand that Starves You. I'm also keen to attend Claire Tanner and Frances Connan's workshop on 'The secret relationship': Harmful relationships between staff and patients in eating disorder services'. And I like the idea of a training track on conducting research.
All in all it looks like an exciting programme (and I'm not just saying that because I'm in it!)

I've just come across some useful resources for schema therapy. The main site is at http://www.schematherapy.com/ and contains lots of information on training, books and other publications, cassettes and conferences.
Reinventing Your Life is a slide show developed to explain basic schema therapy principles to the general public and it's a great place to start if you're interested in the approach.
