Summary:

This collection of over four dozen essays offers a comprehensive introduction to and on-going resource for the physical and social science of body-image. Tightly edited by Cash (psychology, Old Dominion U.) and Smolak (psychology, Kenyon College) to cross-reference each other, the essays are organized into nine major sections that cover conceptual foundations, developmental perspectives, assessment considerations and methods, cultural differences, disorders and other medical contexts, elective and non-elective body alteration, psychosocial interventions for pathological body-images, and the future of body-image science. There are several new chapters on sociocultural, genetic/neurological and positive psychology frameworks to studying body-image; developmental considerations for body-image in both adolescent boys and girls; non-Western cultures, binge-eating, appearance-related drug-use; body image in medical contexts; and body-art. In addition to an anthropologist, the contributors represent a wide-range of psychological sub-disciplines in health and nutrition, neurology, clinical psychology, sexuality, epidemiology, perception, social psychology and body-image as such.
