This website is being developed by Dr. Bill Picon.  Dr. Picon has worked with weight management patients for the past twenty-five years. In the early 1990s, his ground-breaking formulation of "Food and Fat Dependency" introduced a structural perspective to the relationship between eating and psychological coping, with an emphasis on the potential role being overweight can play in certain kinds of psychological coping.

Dr. Picon continues to develop clinical approaches to the treatment of obesity with an emphasis on the treatment of emotional eating. He welcomes opportunities to consult with other professionals. You can contact Dr. Picon at: Dr.BillPicon@gmail.com.

The computer programming and site development is being done by Mr. Yuting Wu.  Dr. Picon would like to acknowledge and thank Mr. Wu for his dedication and sacrifice of countless hours of his time - listening to complicated discussions of what Dr. Picon would like to bring forward with the EIA.  What once was only an idea, is now developing into a potentially useful tool - due to the incredible efforts of Mr. Wu.
