   About Judith Asner
   
   Judith Asner started one of the first outpatient programs for eating disorders in 1979 on the East Coast. She continues to work primarily with bulimics both individually, in groups, and with their spouses. Judith also does life-coaching, helping people via telephone. Her newsletter, Beat Bulimia, is the culmination of more than 25 year's experience with the syndrome, work that has given her a solid and well-deserved reputation as a pioneer in the field of eating disorders.
   
   Judith Asner is a psychotherapist and virtual coach from the Washington-Baltimore area. She is a Diplomate of the Board of Clinical Social Workers and a member of the National Academy of Social Workers. She received her training at the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 1971 at the age of 24.
   
   Since then, she has worked steadily at her practice while continuing her post-graduate education. She has been trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and group psychotherapy. She has presented papers on eating disorders at the American Group Psychotherapy Association and the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals. Most recently, she has become a certified Imago Relationship Therapist for couples, based on the ground-breaking work of Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., and has studied professional coaching in the MentorCoach program of Dr. Ben Dean.
   
   She has lectured extensively to professional and lay groups on the East Coast and has appeared on TV and radio to educate the public about eating disorders. Her interest in her those suffering from bulimia nervosa, and other eating disorders, and their wellness is continually increasing as the years go by.
