This course was adapted from the book, What Every Therapist Needs to Know about Treating Eating and Weight Issues, by Karen R. Koenig, LCSW, M. Ed. It was developed to assist mental health clinicians and everyday practitioners with understanding the struggles that some experience to seek and maintain a healthy relationship with their bodies and with food. The information in this course includes insights and practical tips to assist those who are dealing with these very important physical and emotional issues.
Course Objectives
1. Describe how food disturbances intrude into clients' lives as well as the health and medical problems associated with poor nourishment and being over- or underweight.
2. Evaluate the historical and cultural stereotypes related to weight and food or body image, and how clients with eating problems perceive themselves and how others may see them.
3. Review how biochemical imbalances lead to eating and weight problems and correlate with mood or impulse disorders.
4. Identify how personality, family dynamics, clinical disorders, life-cycle issues, and sexual abuse and trauma impact food and weight issues.
5. Define strategies for becoming healthy and fit and the numerous ways that clinicians may address food and body issues as part of treatment strategies.
