Professional Role(s) and qualifications:
Psychiatrists for 35 years, I have been involved in the implementation of evidence-based therapeutic techniques (nutritional, psychotherapeutic, psychosocial and pharmacological) in eating disorders. I have acquired expertise and have set up, within the framework of a pilot project of the SPF Public Health Belgium, the practice in a multidisciplinary team of first-line treatments recommended by most of the international guidelines both for adolescents (Family Based Therapy, FBT and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy – Enhanced, CBT-E) and for young adults and adults (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy – Enhanced, CBT-E).

Training in CBT-E:
Personnel training on the basis of the manual ‘Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Eating Disorders, Fairburn C. (2008)’ and more recently ‘Cognitive Behavior Therapy for adolescent with Eating Disorders, Dalle Grave R. and Calugi S. (2020)’.

Clinical Practice and Supervision:
Currently, I practise CBT-E and teach it in a training course (https://www.docteur-yves-simon.be/tcaformation-en-ligne/).
