S372: Eating Disorders: Misperceptions, Numbers, & Treatments in Splash! Fall 2009 (Oct. 03, 2009)
Do you think you know what anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating are? Anorexia means will power, right? Isn’t bulimia just a creative way to keep tabs on calories? Men don’t have eating disorders… or do they? This course will deal with the misconceptions and symptoms associated with eating disorders. (Lack of) control, body image, obsession, and misery will be of particular interest as these tend to be among the least understood cognitive components of eating disorders. We will look at the prevalence of these disorders, their linkage to other psychological disorders, and current treatment methods.

Men don't have eating disorders... or do they? This course will deal with the misperceptions and symptoms associated with eating disorders. (Lack of) Control, body image, obssession, and misery will be of particular interest as these tend to be among the least understood cognitive components of eating disorders. We will look at the prevalence and statistics of these disorders among men as well as women. Frequent co-occurring disorders such as major depression, obssessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, and personality disorders will be discussed. Finally, we will also discuss the current treatment methods that are being used in research clinics at Stanford University, University of Chicago, and University of Washington. Specifically family-based, cognitive behavioural, and dialectical behavioural therapies will be reviewed.
