Presented by: Mary Pritchard, Ph.D.

The training will cover common myths and misconceptions about body image and eating disorders in men. Many doctoral level psychologists have little to no training in eating disorder-related content, including how men may present differently than women. This training will cover how men’s body image dissatisfaction presents and differs from women’s, including prevalence rates. We will also discuss the unexpected consequences men with body dissatisfaction may experience, and how those consequences differ from women. We will also cover prevalence rates of subclinical and clinical ED-related diagnoses in men. Finally, we will discuss issues with diagnosis and treatment in men and up and coming prevention efforts designed specifically for men’s body and eating issues.
