Intuitive eating is an adaptive eating style that involves eating for physical rather than emotional reasons, reliance on internal hunger and satiety cues, and lack of restriction in eating. In our study, the authors tested the acceptance model of intuitive eating with 160 college women athletes from Division I and Division II schools, using path analysis and controlling for body mass index. Similar to a previous study with general college women, the model provided an excellent fit to the data. These results support the hypothesis that perceived acceptance from others indirectly contributes to intuitive eating through college women athletes' attitudes toward their bodies. For college women athletes, body acceptance by coaches, trainers, and teammates predicted athletes' own body appreciation, which in turn, predicted their eating style. These findings suggest ways for coaches and counselors to help women athletes enhance their body appreciation and improve their eating. These results also indicate the need for researchers to further explore women athletes' eating styles and attitudes toward their bodies.

The Society of Counseling Psychology Leadership Academy is a yearlong program designed to engage and develop student and early career psychologist leaders in counseling psychology. As a division of the American Psychological Association, the Society of Counseling Psychology is part of a nonprofit professional organization that seeks to recruit and retain members as well as to develop talent to meet future organizational leadership needs. This article describes the history of the Leadership Academy, its conceptual foundations, curriculum and program components, and associated implementation processes. We discuss how we utilized results of a formative program evaluation to improve the program over time. Outcomes associated with three cohorts of the Leadership Academy suggest that the program was largely effective in achieving its functional

In this chapter, the authors discuss the development of feminist psychological practice and identify similarities between feminist approaches and counseling psychology, including multicultural and social justice perspectives. Empowerment Feminist Therapy (Worell & Remer, 1992, 2003) is highlighted as a model of feminist practice that applies the Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Girls and Women (APA, 2007) and incorporates social justice principles. The authors explain methods for using feminist assessment and conceptualization as collaborative and empowering interventions. They describe specific techniques for cultural analysis, exploration of privilege and oppression, analysis of identity development, and exploration of intersecting identities. The authors explore feminist perspectives on several ethical issues and stress the importance of using the Guidelines as a model of effective practice. Future directions for feminist theory and practice are provided.
