Welcome to EDRC in New York City
The Eating Disorder Resource Center in New York City was the first center of its kind to have a specialized treatment program for women and men who were suffering from bulimia. We now treat eating disorders of all kinds, offering individual, group, family and couples treatment for those challenged by bulimia, binge eating disorder, anorexia and other kinds of body dysmorphia.
The center is based in the west 50’s in Manhattan, but we have offices throughout the city. We also have a large network of referral sources — such as physicians, psychiatrists, nutritionists and gynecologists — so that all concerns can best be addressed.
With over 25 years of experience, we are keenly aware of the latest research and clinical understandings of anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorders. We are dedicated to knowing what can best help when you or someone you know is in trouble with food.

Supervisory Study Group for Professionals:
The Interpersonal Treatment of Eating Disorders
Dr. Brisman is now forming a supervisory group on the interpersonal treatment of eating disorders. The supervisory group is open to all professionals who are interested in the psychodynamic treatment of eating disorders. In particular, we will discuss the need for direct intervention with problematic eating behaviors while attending to the ongoing question of what the intervention actually means to the patient. Cases will be presented and readings will supplement discussion.
Location: The group will be held for an hour each week at 330 W. 58th Street (time to be determined). A bi-monthly group is also being considered.
Information: Please contact Dr. Judith Brisman at drjbrisman@edrcnyc.org or at 212-582-2217 if you are interested in more information. We look forward to hearing from you.
