Body Shame Conceptualisation, Research and Treatment

In Body Shame: Conceptualisation, Research and Treatment, researchers and therapists from a wide range of different disciplines and areas explore the role of shame in various physical and psychological disorders, and provide practical advice on management and treatment. Chapters are organised to address issues of conceptualisation assessment and treatment, on topics such as: * definitional controversies * biopsychosocial and evolutionary origins of body shame * effects on adjustments of maturation and ageing process * specific forms of disfigurement * the role of body shame in depression, eating disorders and body dysmorphic disorder. This book will be invaluable for practitioners from different disciplines working with people who have problems centred on their physical appearance and/or functions, and clinicians working with various mental health problems.Gilbert, Paul is the author of 'Body Shame Conceptualisation, Research and Treatment' with ISBN 9781583911662 and ISBN 1583911669.
