20 Nov Podcast – Passing the Torch at Eating Disorders Review
This conversation marks a new chapter for Eating Disorders Review (EDR), iaedp’s open-access professional journal. Incoming Editor-in-Chief Dr. Anne O’Melia shares a vision built around translation and usability: pairing research summaries with concrete “how-to” steps, case vignettes, decision trees, and short skill builders clinicians can put to work immediately. She outlines plans for a reliable publication cadence, a blinded peer-review process, concise evidence summaries with clear limits, and an ethics note where needed. The episode also honors longtime leaders—Managing Editor Mary K. Stein and senior editors Drs. Russell Marks, Michael Devlin, John Levitt, and Steven Wunderlich—whose decades of stewardship shaped EDR into a trusted resource.
What’s inside
- EDR’s refreshed structure: “Research to Real Life,” “Clinical Corner,” “Intersectional Insights,” and 10-minute skill builders with “3 things to try this week.”
- A thematic series approach by discipline (primary care, psychiatry, psychotherapy, nutrition, etc.).
- Tools for under-resourced settings: assessment checklists, sample scripts, documentation language, and decision trees.
- Quality and trust: blinded peer review, transparent evidence summaries, and reader feedback loops to keep content relevant.
- Community building: early- and mid-career contributor networks and a multidisciplinary editorial board.
Why listen
If you want quicker paths from study to session, and practical, evidence-informed tools you can use this week, this episode lays out exactly how EDR will help..
