“This creatively edited book provides an enriching and intelligent read, filled with a diverse group of authors and subjects.”
—Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions
“This book is remarkable in its scope, including information difficult to find elsewhere, and nowhere singly....An outstanding contribution to the field.”
—Psychology of Women Quarterly
“This handbook should prove relevant to a wide audience. Researchers, especially graduate students, will find a wealth of information on assessment instruments and future directions for study....The book will not only be useful to researchers but also will give clinicians such as psychiatrists, psychologists, and mental health professionals a deeper understanding of cutting-edge issues of body image.”
—Journal of the American Medical Association
“This timely book may encourage greater communication and cross-fertilization among disciplines and fields. It provides a wealth of ideas for those interested in this fascinating topic and will serve as a valuable and frequently referenced resource.”
—New England Journal of Medicine
“Particularly relevant to mental health practitioners, clinical psychologists and nurses delivering holistic care.”
—Nursing Standard
“An invaluable theoretical reference and inspiration for research....A resource that should have a place on the shelf of anyone who engages in research or practice concerning body image and its related psychopathologies....Well worth the purchase....The novel topics and integration of cutting-edge science will help guide the next wave of research, practice, and prevention work....Chapters of this book would make for excellent readings for courses that discuss such disparate topics as eating psychopathology, applications of feminist theory, and health psychology, among others. In addition, this book would make an excellent primary text for an undergraduate or graduate topics course concerning body image. Cash and Smolak also do a superb job of integrating the information from this 53-chapter text in their introductory and concluding chapters, accurately assessing the strengths as well as potential areas of growth for the science surrounding this construct.”
