Product Description
Physical appearance plays a powerful role in social relationships. Those who feel shame regarding the way they look and who think others view their appearance negatively, can be vulnerable to impoverished social relationships and to a range of psychological difficulties. There are few books which look specifically at the many permutations of body shame and their differing treatments. However, in this book, Body Shame: Conceptualization, 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. They also provide practical advice on management and treatment. Chapters are organized to address issues of conceptualization, assessment and treatment on topics such as: * definitional controversies
* possible biopsychosocial and evolutionary origins of body shame
* effects on adjustment to maturation and aging process
* specific forms of disfigurement
* the role of body shame in depression, eating disorders and body dismorphic disorder
Body Shame gives the reader a deeper insight into the nature and mechanisms of shame, how it can focus on the body, how it can underlie a variety of psychological difficulties and how intervention can help resolve it. This book will be invaluable for practitioners from different disciplines working with people who have problems centered on their physical appearance and/or functions, and to clinicians working with various mental health problems.
For those working with patients who experience any form of body disfigurment this book covers all the issues comprehensively... the section on psychological disorders is particularly insightful and well referenced... all chapters are extensively referenced and offer a balanced view. This is an excellent book in every respect. - Mike Lehane, Nursing Standard
This edited work is clearly structured in a way that should inform and stimulate debate on the subject of body shame... I would recommend this book. - Professor Glenn Waller, Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy Journal
Shame... is a hot topic in psychotherapy and counselling at the moment - and rightly so: understanding shame seems increasingly to be key to facilitating change. Although Body Shame falls within the discipline of clinical psychology rather than therapy or counselling, it is bound to be of value to any practitioner - in particular, but by no means exclusively, body psychotherapists. - Nick Totton in Self & Society, Vol 31 No 2, June - July 2003
