This online course is
designed to provide the student with an understanding of the broad spectrum of
needs in the eating disordered individual.
Treating these needs demands knowledge in a number of areas of
intervention. During this course the
student will be exposed to numerous treatment modalities utilized in the eating
disorder treatment milieu. These
modalities are not expressed as the only treatment approaches nor are they
presented in their entirety.
Each module is presented via
the internet using assigned readings, Power Point lecture notes, discussion
boards, chat rooms, and streaming video.
The information presented offers the student the opportunity to expand
on their therapeutic abilities. It is
necessary, therefore, for each student to attend all modules presented in order
to appreciate the vast amount of specialized knowledge necessary to be an
effective eating disorders counselor.
• It
is suggested that the student complete HS 181 prior to or concurrently with HS
185, although it is NOT required. Dr. Phelps has a folder in Blackboard with
Introductory overview materials if you are taking HS 185 before you take HS
181.
Upon completion of this course, the student will be
able to:
l. Assess and screen
for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and eating
disorders not otherwise specified.
2. Explain and evaluate basic techniques of intervention for eating disorders.
3. Identify various theories of treatment used with eating disorders.
4. Identify roles and importance of all eating disorder treatment personnel (MDs,

Some Suggestions
Before You Start:
- If you use AOL as your dialup
(internet service provider/ISP), it is best to dial in, shrink the AOL
browser, and then open Internet Explorer or Netscape or Firefox. The AOL
browser often doesn’t work with Blackboard.
- It’s a good idea to have
Microsoft Word for essays and papers, but you can use Works or any text
editor (Wordpad, Notebook, etc.)
- We use a lot of PowerPoint
slides. There is a PowerPoint viewer free for download on the Saddleback
DE website and inside our course
- You should know how to copy
and paste text from your word processor into Blackboard
- Keep hard copies or
electronic copies of everything, just in case!
