• Accurately identify and assess perinatal populations without bias towards thin, white, and women. 

• Assess and address the function of disordered eating behaviors (i.e., experiential avoidance) 

• Understand how treating patients with ego-syntonic illnesses (e.g., anorexia nervosa) differs from the treatment of people with ego-dystonic illnesses (e.g., anxiety/depression)
