In this In Conversation podcast, we are joined by Dr. Emma Willmott and Dr. Tom Jewell, from the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust and King’s College London, to discuss their recently published scoping review on psychological interventions for Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).
Discussion points include:

• The main aims of the review into psychological interventions for ARFID.
• How many studies were identified and the main findings.
• Different intervention modalities for ARFID.
• The lack of consistency when measuring change in patients with ARFID and how best to measure recovery for patients with ARFID.
• Recommendations on next steps to advance knowledge of ARFID and effective treatments.
• Advice and resources for non-specialist eating disorder clinicians.

This is the second episode of a two-part series on ARFID with Dr. Emma Willmott and Dr. Tom Jewell. Episode one can be found here: ‘Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID): Prevalence and Implications’.
