Eating and Body Image Issues Seminars

*Eating and Body Image Issues: An Introduction
12 Hour Introductory Seminar taught through Human Development and Training Institute (HD&TI)

Meets 2 Saturdays, 7th & 28th May, 2011 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM 

This 12 hour workshop teaches an overview of the feminist relational anti-diet approach to working with compulsive overeaters, bulimics and anorexics. By focusing on the symptom, the counsellor learns to use eating and body image issues as a metaphor for other psychological issues while still addressing the deep pain of the client.. The class will include case supervision and role plays, and is a prerequisite to additional training and supervision in this field.
