Counseling Students With Eating Disorders
CCEUS20 - Counseling Students With Eating Disorders [10 contact hours] - [$50.00 - NO OTHER COURSE FEES APPLY] The cultural obsession with slimness has reached a level which is seriously hurting millions of our youth. Messages are conveyed to our youth that they are less than perfect unless they somehow manage to achieve a body size and shape which is biological sustainable for only a handful of people. Other aspects of appearance are ignored except those characteristics that fall within the lowest range of weight for height that is considered normal. The upshot of all of this is that many children see themselves as defective or less than perfect because their weight is at a level that is genetically and biologically appropriate for them. The few children who do meet the slimness standard are generally afraid to eat because of an irrational fear of gaining weight. Fear of gaining weight and desperate desires to lose weight are facts of life for many of our young people which threatens their long-term health. What may be just a serious if the pervasive self-loathing that compromises the healthy development of the next generation of young people.
