Unlocking the Promise of Evidence-based Practice for Eating Disorders: Activating the Power of Exposure Therapy Using a Case Formulation Approach


Eating disorders (EDs) are challenging to treat and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Research indicates that therapists underutilize evidence-based interventions for EDs and comorbid conditions and that exposure therapy is particularly underutilized. One reason for this underutilization involves negative attitudes and beliefs about such interventions and their associated manuals. The aim of this presentation is to challenge some of these beliefs by reducing common confusion about the difference between evidence-based interventions and evidence-based practice. In addition, this presentation will show how Person’s case formulation approach can be used to embrace evidence-based practice for EDs with an emphasis on the use of exposure therapy.

BIO: Carolyn Black Becker, PhD is a Professor of Psychology at Trinity University. She also is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in the treatment and research of eating disorders, PTSD, and anxiety-based disorders. She is board certified in behavioral and cognitive therapy. Dr. Becker has published numerous peer-reviewed papers and several books, including Exposure Therapy for Eating Disorders. Dr. Becker is a past president of both the Academy for Eating Disorders (the AED) and the Society for a Science of Clinical Psychology. In November, 2025 she began serving as President for the Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies. Dr. Becker is a fellow of multiple organizations including the AED. In addition, she has received numerous awards including the Research Practice Partnership Award from the AED, the Lori Irving Award for Excellence in Eating Disorders Prevention and Awareness granted by the National Eating Disorders Association, a 2011-2012 Fellowship at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, a 2017 Piper Professor award for outstanding teaching from the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation, and the 2024 Lawrence H Cohen Outstanding Mentor Award from the Society for a Science of Clinical Psychology.

Why watch the virtual sessions? 

This year’s theme—Evidence, Empathy, and Evolution—calls us to examine how our work is evolving to meet the complexities of eating disorder care today. Through keynote sessions, multidisciplinary panels, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities, attendees will explore: 

  • The latest research and clinical advances 
  • Innovative strategies for patient-centered care 
  • Cross-disciplinary approaches to treatment and recovery 
  • Cultural humility and inclusive practices in clinical settings 

Whether you specialize in psychotherapy, medical monitoring, nutrition, body movement, or research, this symposium will equip you with practical knowledge, peer support, and a broader view of what the future of our field demands.
