dc.description.abstractThe definition of what constitutes a healthy weight has become debatable over recent years. In this study, discourses around healthy weight were explored among eight graduate students in mental health focused, education programs at the University of Calgary. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using discursive psychology. A total of six interpretive repertoires were found through analysis as follows: measurable/visual, non-measurable/internal, tension/growth, behavioural, educational, and biological. The ways in which students in graduate level, mental health focused, education programs construct healthy weight may impact how these individuals treat future clients, especially those in large bodies. As such, the findings from this study provide support for expanding training in the area of healthy weight within the curriculum of these graduate programs.en_US
