Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM) was originally designed as a placebo comparative treatment in a clinical trial for the treatment of anorexia nervosa, and showed promising results. Since then SSCM has continued to be used, and shown to be a valid and effective treatment for anorexia nervosa. SSCM combines a range of tools including clinical management, psychoeducation and encouragement with a supportive therapeutic style, working collaboratively with clients to target specific eating disorder symptoms. The aim of the therapy is to empower clients to make a link between their symptoms, eating behaviour and weight, and to support them to gradually return to normal eating and weight.

Should their eating disorder have been treated before the surgery?

While Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is the first line treatment for BED, the evidence base has historically relied on very old CBT treatment manuals. The most comprehensive eating disorder treatment manual cognitive behavioural therapy – enhanced (CBT-E) is commonly believed to be the evidence base for BED treatment, however binge eating disorder is under-represented in many clinical treatment trials for CBT-E, despite it being considered the first line transdiagnostic treatment for eating disorders. The publication of a new treatment manual Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Binge Eating Disorder (2024) by Riccardo Dalle Grave provides clearer guidance to clinicians working with binge eating disorder and higher weight as to navigating treatment in a complex landscape. In addition, the new international definition of clinical obesity (2025) provides further clarity around the known limitations of BMI alone in defining clinical obesity. This workshop provides the opportunity to reflect on this, the evolving evidence and implications for psychological and nutrition treatment.
