Janet Treasure - Eating disorders: a paradigm of a psychosomatic illness

The Mental Elf

Speaking before her keynote talk at the 2023 IoPPN Research Festival, Professor Janet Treasure talks about the history of eating disorders, how services and research have developed over the last 30 years, and the problems she is now trying to solve in her work at KCL.

The Centre for Research in Eating and Weight Disorders (CREW) aims to find out more about the neurobiological, genetic and psychological causes and consequences of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and other eating disorders, and to use that knowledge to develop new and better treatments.
