Treatment Model: With more than a decade of experience working with individuals of all ages with eating disorders and other self-harming behaviors such as cutting and substance abuse, Dr. Bergstein brings the combination of extensive training and experience to very individualized treatment of individuals suffering from eating disorders. Dr. Bergstein also often works in a team model enlisting nutritional and medical interventions when appropriate. Whether trying to break free from the compulsivity of an eating disorder (whether anorexia, bulimia, binge eating or over-eating) or trying to understand the connection between one's eating disorder and other experiences such as substance abuse, cutting, anxiety, depression, or sexual or gender-identity issues, Dr. Bergstein's help proceeds from a deep understanding perspective which promotes self-motivation and change. Deep understanding often leads to owning the fear of changing - sometimes even of relinquishing an eating disorder - but also the dread that allowing "hope" for a better life can bring.

The goal of the Eating Disorders Program at University Medical Center at Princeton is to promote the physical and emotional recovery of each patient in an atmosphere of acceptance and support. The program's location in a full-service medical center allows for thorough and efficient treatment of any medical complications while simultaneously addressing the psychological issues underlying the eating disorder.  The multidisciplinary treatment team is headed by Medical Director Russell Marx, M.D., a board certified psychiatrist.  Dr. Marx is a nationally known clinician and author of It's Not Your Fault: Overcoming Anorexia and Bulimia.  He is joined by Kenneth Willis, M.D., a board certified psychiatrist who served as the program's first medical director, and Melinda Parisi, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist with extensive expertise in eating disorders and women's issues.  Treatment at UMCP emphasizes care for the whole patient, as eating disorders are illnesses that affect the individual physically, emotionally and socially.  The program combines a psychosocial approach with the latest advances in nutritional and medical treatment. Though intensive therapy, patients begin to identify underlying issues contributing to disordered eating and distorted body image. Each patient's condition and needs are evaluated individually, and a treatment plan based on this evaluation is designed to facilitate full recovery.  The program offers inpatient and partial hospitalization.  The level of care and length of stay are individualized according to each patient's needs.  For more information, visit the website or call 609-497-4490 (Toll Free: 877-932-8935).

Our programs run three to four days per week, late afternoon through early evening hours allowing patients to continue with school and/or work during the day. We have designed our treatment centers to be homelike and friendly, and our programs are small--a typical group rarely has more than 10 participants. Our treatment is collaborative involving the combined efforts of the individual, family and staff working together in a context of mutual respect. And while we believe that treatment is serious business, serious does not mean grim. Warmth, humor, and a sense of caring are as important to the treatment process as any specific psychotherapy.
