Course Summary
Binge eating disorder is the most common type of eating disorder and is experienced by people with a wide range of identities. Binge eating disorder is developed and maintained by complex biopsychosocial factors.
Often sufferers of binge eating disorder experience high levels of internalized shame and are affected by weight stigma and other systematic oppression. Dieting is often a suggested treatment by ill-informed clinicians and the public at large which maintains the eating disorder and further increases shame because diets are not effective for treatment.
This course was designed to help clinicians understand the complexities of binge eating disorder and its treatment. Binge Eating Disorder: The Journey to Recovery and Beyond is often recommended for clinicians, those who suffer with binge eating disorder and their loved-ones.
Target audience: Master-level clinicians/therapist
Content level: Beginner to the advanced clinician.
This course does not provide manualized based training for binge eating disorder.
