eating disorder treatment holistic therapies influencing skills design elements and principles cognitive behavioral therapyProvide a tangible deliverable that encompasses and provides information about disordered eating and eating disorders, specifically aimed at students in a post-secondary setting.
The primary audience for EDs within Canada is white female adolescents aged 10-19. However, students should be expected to identify the impact of EDs on minority populations (BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+), as well as focus on the influence of holistic therapies (music, art, AAT, or dance therapies) and the effect of spiritual components (i.e effects of Ramadan fasting as a preconditional factor to an ED, effects of culture on an ED diagnosis with a psychoanalytical emphasis, how a journey in Christianity, Islam, and/or Hinduism (or any other religion) may help in recovery, etc), which can be used in conjunction with traditional methods for ED treatment (CBT, FBT, DBT).
Students may need to acquire an in-depth understanding of eating disorders, disturbances, and related dysfunctional behaviours. Students may also need to review and cite peer-reviewed academic articles and extract information from multiple databases (IBIS World, EBSCO Host) with a focus on Canadian-based research.
Students may also wish to deliver this workbook in a readable-friendly format and incorporate certain design elements at their discretion.
CEDAA can provide students with video meetings, consultation, and general guidance.
