The Special Interest Group in Eating Disorders (SIGED) is dedicated to providing a forum for psychologists with an interest in eating disorders. SIGED aims to promote professional development in clinical practice, research and training for psychologists who work or are interested in the field of eating disorders.
The mission of SIGED will be achieved through workshops, talks and symposia as well as through collaborative partnerships with national and international eating disorder agencies. The SIGED will engage with universities to encourage and promote eating disorder research and its translation into evidence-based practices. The SIGED will seek to promote greater awareness and understanding of the lived experiences of service users and their family members while disseminating current evidence-based information in the field of eating disorders to mental health and medical professionals, as well as to the general public.
