Description
Weight bias is neglected in clinical training. This study examined the efficacy of a weight bias seminar taught to clinical psychology trainees. Trainees placed less importance on eating and exercise as causes of obesity, reported less dislike for higher body-weight people, and reported more positive treatment expectations when working with higher body-weight patients after the seminar.
