Eating Disorders in the Digital Age
Eating Disorders in the Digital Age
Discussion 1: The Impact of the Digital Age on Eating Disorders
In your readings, the authors discuss the prevalence of pro-eating
disorder websites (sites that Help the client in sustaining
unhealthy behaviors related to an eating disorder) and their
impact on the health of individuals living with an eating disorder.
The authors also discuss recovery websites that promote
treatment strategies for those struggling with an eating disorder.
In clinical practice, social workers need to be aware of the
different resources available to clients living with an eating
disorder that would affect the recovery process.
For this Discussion, read this week’s Resources. Then search the
Internet for a website that promotes strategies to sustain proeating disorders. Finally, identify a recovery website.
• Post an analysis of how the website you selected affects
behaviors listed in the DSM-5 criteria for eating disorders.
• Then analyze the strategies the recovery website suggests for
addressing the problematic behaviors and the related selfperceptions of the individuals living with an eating disorder.
• Include the URLs for the websites in your discussion.
Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be
sure to provide full APA citations for your references.
