This course explores our complex relationship with food: why we eat what
we eat, how we eat, and why we eat too much or too little. Based on
positive psychology, mind-body medicine, cognitive-behavior therapy, and
a functional medicine model of psychological intervention as paths to
wellness, the course also focuses on expectations, beliefs, and
resistance to change. Students will examine their own eating and
wellness practices, as well as their readiness for counseling others.
Therapeutic interventions for developing healthy behaviors and
recognizing eating disorders will be discussed and the role of family,
peer, societal, corporate and government influences on personal choices
will be emphasized.
