In this episode Dr. Doug Bunnell and I talk about the differences between behavioral treatments and "deep work" or psychodynamic psychotherapy. (Dynamic and analytic used interchangeably.) If you want to know more about what any of this means or if you've ever heard the term "evidence based" or "gold standard" for treatment of eating disorders, this is for you. Spoiler: Anyone who is die hard anything, probably isn't giving enough of a full picture of what actually works. Douglas W.
