This page lists Eating Disorders Psychologists in Pune. 3 in all.
What eating disorder treatment involves
Eating disorders affect eating, weight and how a person sees their body 1. They carry physical risk as well as psychological.
Effective treatments exist, including family-based treatment and cognitive-based therapy. Interpersonal psychotherapy is an option in bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder 2.
Families are usually involved rather than kept out. Care is often shared with a doctor. Ask a practitioner which of these approaches they offer.
What a psychologist does, and where assessment fits in
Everyone on this page is listed under the professional title psychologist. Psychologists apply the study of the mind and behaviour to assist people through difficulty. Clinical psychologists work with people of all ages, with families, carers, teams and communities.
Assessment belongs to a psychologist's training, and sits alongside therapy. Clinical, counselling and educational psychology are different training routes. Each route emphasises different work.
Which titles are registered varies by country. Where the title is registered, the register says what it covers. Ask a psychologist which route they trained through, and what they work with most.
What this page filters on
These are the only filters: the specialism recorded as Eating Disorders and the professional title psychologist.
