We will cover the impact of “diet culture;” the etiology, signs, symptoms, assessment tools, and diagnostic criteria of eating disorders; explore how our personal body narratives and views of weight impact the counseling space; and how to apply this knowledge to conceptualization and best practices in treatment. Presenters will use a variety of instructional methods including lecture, PowerPoint, group discussions, and experiential exercises.

6. Participants will learn how to identify signs and symptoms of disordered eating and eating disorders 

7. Participants will gain exposure to various assessment tools which can be utilized for diagnosis and case conceptualization
