Binge Eating Disorders: Executive Functioning and Treatment outcomes for Adolescents Undergoing CBT
Description
In this In Conversation podcast, we are joined by Dr. Andrea Goldschmidt, from the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Goldschmidt is a licensed clinical psychologist whose research focuses on eating behaviors that are associated with poor weight-related outcomes. The focus of this podcast will be on her recent JCPP paper ‘Executive functioning and treatment outcome among adolescents undergoing cognitive-behavioral therapy for binge-eating disorder’ (https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.14031). There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.
