Overview
This 10-week diploma will introduce and examine key themes in the spectrum of eating disorders. Eating disorders encompass a wide field and include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder and other food-related disorders. These disorders are as prevalent as they are misunderstood and this diploma seeks to dispel many of the myths that have accompanied them.
As well as providing a theoretical grounding of the psychological and social factors involved in any approach to understanding these disorders, practical knowledge and application is also given in support of the theoretical framework. This course will be of particular interest to those who encounter the issue during the course of their work, or who wish to gain insight and understanding about eating disorders.
Who is the course for?
This diploma course will be of interest to those who wish to study in the area with a view to going onto further clinical specialization and training as well as those with a general interest in the area.
