Eating Disorders: Clinical and Spiritual Perspectives (CO538.S)

DESCRIPTION

This course provides an in-depth exploration of eating disorders through clinical and spiritual lenses. Students will examine the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of eating disorders, with emphasis on understanding the complexity of these illnesses within the individual, family, and cultural context. Additionally, the course will review a biblical theology of the body, inviting students to consider how Scripture shapes our understanding of embodiment, identity, and health. Students will engage with contemporary treatment models and levels of care, learning to assess and conceptualize cases with clinical excellence and biblical wisdom. The course will also emphasize the compassionate care of the clinician and a grace-based approach to helping clients who struggle with these life-threatening mental health struggles. Special attention will be given to the role of spiritual growth and a dynamic relationship with God in the journey toward recovery, both for clients and clinicians. Through readings, case studies, discussion, and reflective practice, students will develop a holistic framework for understanding and treating eating disorders, equipping them for compassionate, Christ-centered care in a variety of counseling contexts.

Addictions (CO332)

DESCRIPTION

Most of us live on the edge of addiction of one sort or another. We’ll take a bird's-eye view of addiction in general, use chemical dependency as a paradigm for dealing with addiction, and explore contemporary scientific models of understanding and treating addictions. We will also reflect on biblical teaching and a Christian worldview of the various class topics to help people break free from the grip of addiction.
