Prior to this she began her study of eating disorders and psychology through the honors program at Kent State University, completing her B.A., with a minor in women’s studies, as valedictorian, in 2002. As both a researcher and practitioner, Dr. Angela has extensive experience delivering and conducting treatment trials emphasizing effectiveness in the real world, including her development and investigation of the mindful eating program presented in this book. Dr. Angela began specializing in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in 2004.
