Dear
Colleagues
We are happy to invite you to a two-day international conference on “Treatment Modalities for Eating Disorders: Consensus and Controversy”. The conference will take place (in English and Hebrew) on Monday, February 4 and Tuesday, February 5 at the Ramada Hotel in Jerusalem, Israel, with a Teaching Day (in Hebrew only) on Sunday afternoon, February 3. The conference will have a clinical focus, offering professionals who treat eating disorders and obesity an opportunity to broaden their knowledge and expertise.
We aim to present a comprehensive, varied, thought-provoking and informative program, appropriate for a wide range of professional disciplines including endocrinology, the expressive therapies, internal medicine, nursing, nutrition and dietetics, pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, social work, and sports medicine. Each day’s program will include four plenary lectures focusing on state-of-the-art treatment modalities in the field of eating disorders and obesity, workshops for specific professions, and short paper sessions on clinical and research issues. All plenary lectures will take place in English, as well as the majority of workshops and short paper sessions (selected workshops and parallel sessions will be held in Hebrew).
We have made every effort to invite world renowned experts, and are delighted to announce that confirmed keynote speakers and workshop presenters include Ms. Judith Banker, Dr. Eric F. van Furth, Professor Debra Katzman, Professor James Lock, Professor Ulrike Schmidt and Ms. Kate Williams.
Abstracts of no more than 250 words in English are invited for short oral presentations and posters. They should relate to recent research or clinical issues such as treatment approaches, outcomes, controversies, or unusual case reports. At the top please note: title, presenter’s name (underlined), collaborators’ names, all affiliations, and preferred presentation method (oral presentation or poster). The body of the abstract should include: theoretical background, aims, methods, results and conclusions (without subheadings). They should be sent to: conventions@isas.co.il no later than August 31, 2012. The Conference Scientific Committee will then review the abstracts and announce their decisions.
The Conference was initiated by the Israel Association for Eating Disorders (IAED) and is being organized in collaboration with ISAS International Seminars.
We look forward to welcoming you in Jerusalem.
