Summary
Summary
This uniquely integrative handbook provides a comprehensive account of current theory, research, and clinical practice in the area of body image and body image disorders. The volume's 57 brief chapters have been contributed by internationally recognized experts from diverse mental health, medical, and allied health care disciplines. Conceptual approaches for understanding body image are reviewed, lifespan developmental factors examined, and the influences of gender, physical characteristics, family factors, sexual orientation, and sociocultural variables evaluated. Cutting-edge information is presented on understanding and treating such problems as eating disorders, body dysmorphic disorder, and negative body image experiences associated with disease or other physical conditions. Specific assessment techniques are reviewed and evaluated, and the evidence is examined for a wide range of clinical management approaches, including contemporary psychosocial treatments, weight loss and fitness regimens, psychopharmacology, and surgical interventions.

Choice Review
Cash and Pruzinsky expertly planned, coordinated, and edited this volume, which dispels the myth that body-image issues primarily concern young women. This reviewer was particularly pleased to discover separate chapters devoted to body-image development at various phases of the life span. Section 2, "Developmental Perspectives and Influences," is particularly strong because the contributors devote attention to life phase and external influences on body image. Also valuable is the section titled "Individual and Cultural Differences," which is an excellent example of the integration of research and discussion of its applications--a hallmark of this handbook. Sections 7 and 8 make a clear--and critical--distinction between methods that individuals use to change the "body" (such as surgery) and what can and should be done to change "body images." Recommended for general readers, students, researchers and practitioners with an interest in body image. R. E. Osborne Southwest Texas State University
