Description
Understanding and addressing body shame is crucial for improving social relationships and overall well-being. This book explores the concept of body shame, its causes, effects, and treatment options.
Researchers and therapists from diverse disciplines examine the role of shame in various physical and psychological disorders, including depression, eating disorders, and body dysmorphic disorder. The book provides practical advice on management and treatment, covering topics such as definitional controversies, biopsychosocial origins, and specific forms of disfigurement.
Valuable for practitioners working with individuals affected by physical appearance issues and clinicians treating mental health problems, this book offers insight into the nature and mechanisms of shame, how it can impact psychological difficulties, and effective interventions to resolve it.
