About the author...

Kathy Kater, LICSW has treated body image, eating, nutrition, fitness and weight concerns for over 30 years.  She became frustrated that progress in understanding these problems had not been matched by effective prevention, and when her own daughter was about to enter 4th grade, she authored Healthy Body Image: Teaching Kids to Eat and Love Their Bodies Too! This comprehensive prevention curriculum, published in 1998, was among the first of its kind to demonstrate significant, measurable improvement in weight related attitudes among pubescent children. 

Kathy is a nationally recognized authority on promotion of healthy body image, eating, nutrition, fitness and weight. She is regularly invited to speak at national conferences, has been a featured guest on Public Radio, and is frequently interviewed for magazines and newspapers. The research outcomes for her Healthy Body Image curriculum have been published in professional journals, and her work is respected by experts in health and wellness, as well as eating disorder treatment and prevention throughout the world.
