This online course =

designed to provide the student with an understanding of the broad spectrum=

Treating these needs demands knowledge in a number of areas of
intervention. During this cou=
rse
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.

ted via

boards, chat rooms, and streaming video.&n=

modules presented in order to appreciate the vast amount of specialized
knowledge necessary to be an effective eating disorders counselor.
