CE Course Description

Research suggests that certain moderators and environments may increase vulnerability to the development of eating disorders and disordered eating.  The purpose of this intermediate level continuing education course, developed using information from the International Journal of Eating Disorders and the Journal of Abnormal Psychology is to evaluate how self-objectification and socialization effects impact disordered eating.  Specific research regarding these constructs is discussed as well as specific moderators and factors that lead to disordered eating.  Additionally, clinical implications are addressed as well as recommendations for further research.
