Research shows that eating disorders and intimate partner violence (IPV) have a bidirectional relationship. That is, being exposed to IPV makes you more likely to develop disordered eating and having an eating disorder makes you more vulnerable to experiencing IPV. This presentation will review current literature, offer clinical tools and strategies and discuss cultural trends that may be increasing violence toward young women.
Objectives:
1. Identify 4 types of intimate partner violence.
2. Explain why having an eating disorder may make someone vulnerable to experiencing IPV.
3. Explain why being exposed to IPV may make someone vulnerable to developing an eating disorder.
