Dr Role-Warren conducts several therapy groups. These are psychotherapy groups, which involve deeper exploration than support groups. Therapy groups differ in that they are led and directed by a psychologist, with visiting sessions from a nutritionist and behavior counselor. These groups usually consist of about 6-10 people of varying ages. The groups last for 16 weeks and delve deeper than support groups.
Members must be in individual therapy with a licensed therapist at least twice per month. Eating disorder group memebers must have an ongoing relationship with a physician who is monitoring their medical stability.
All patients including minors (and their parents) must call in advance to be screened and informed about the group process. Group members must also sign a release so we may speak with their individual therapists if necessary.
Dr. Role Warren has been leading these groups for 20 years. They are very helpful in intesifying treatment, reducing denial, isolation and increasing social support.
