he Klarman Eating Disorders Center at McLean Hospital, part of the Division of Women’s Mental Health (DWMH), is offering a post-doctoral fellowship for graduates of PsyD and PhD psychology programs. The year long fellowship is designed to provide training in multi-modal and evidence-based treatment of young women with eating disorders along with the major mental health issues facing women today. These include trauma, substance use disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, personality disorders and mood and anxiety disorders. The fellowship aims to provide in-depth experience of residential treatment, intensive individual psychotherapy, group therapy, and milieu based treatment. Opportunities to work with families are also available. The clinical work is team based; the fellow will be collaborating with multidisciplinary teams including psychiatrists, family therapists, dietitians, group therapists, and nursing staff. A number of approaches are used depending on the needs of each patient. Fellows have two individual supervisors and participate in supervision groups as well. Depending on the interest of the fellow and the needs of the unit, they may also become involved in learning about supervision and practicing supervision with more junior staff. In addition to a variety of training opportunities on the unit, there are numerous grand rounds, clinical trainings, and case studies presented throughout the hospital. Fellows are welcome to join a journal club led by a leading eating disorder researcher and may pursue involvement in research projects. The Division of Women’s Mental Health also includes fellows in a variety of both didactic presentations as well as meetings where the more personal aspects of being a professional in this field are explored. The Division and hospital is dedicated to raising awareness and discussing anti-racism initiatives, the shifting landscape of gender expression and identity, and implicit bias.
