Eating Disorders as a Way to Communicate with Dr. Elizabeth Hamlin

  Join Dr. Elizabeth Hamlin and me to discuss the age old concept of eating disorders as a means of communication in a new way. Eating disorders are far more than a struggle with one’s food and body image. It’s a larger emotional battle that emerges to communicate pain without words. Learn more about how we know that and what you can do about it in this episode.      Elizabeth Hamlin, MD, is a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and psychoanalytic candidate who has spent her career working intensively with patients with severe eating disorders.  Dr. Hamlin has worked for many years on both inpatient and residential eating disorder units at Rogers Behavioral Health in Oconomowoc, WI, where she has also served as the medical director of the adult inpatient eating disorder program.  Dr. Hamlin is clinical faculty at the Medical College of Wisconsin and teaches and supervises psychiatry residents on eating disorders and psychotherapy.  Dr. Hamlin has published psychoanalytic papers and book chapters on eating disorders, including on fluid restriction.  She has presented regionally and nationally on the intersection of psychoanalysis and eating disorders.  Dr. Hamlin is currently a psychoanalytic candidate at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute.  She maintains a private practice in Delafield, WI.   LEAVE A REVIEW + help someone who may need this podcast by sharing this episode.
