Abstract: Veganism, promoted in society as a “healthy and ethical” way of eating, was the #1 health trend in 2018. Eating disorder professionals are confronted with the difficulty of deciphering what veganism means to a client and assessing how to treat without enabling the eating disorder. Is veganism a form of disordered eating, a reflection of orthorexia or an eating choice that can be sustained without disordered eating behaviors? If it is a form of disordered eating, do we treat these clients? Are we enabling an eating disorder if we don’t? This presentation will take a fresh, thought-provoking look at veganism, debunk myths and provide the clinician with the tools to better assess the true role veganism plays in a client’s life. Whether veganism exists alongside or is enmeshed within an eating disorder, we will discuss how to walk this path with clients effectively and ethically toward full recovery.
