Review
"Cash has produced an excellent revision of "The Body Image Workbook". The content is clear, appropriate, and based firmly on published research evidence. Therapeutic techniques that we know are helpful are presented in an accessible and supportive style, with clear guidance and useful help sheets to enable readers to develop new skills and to monitor change. This is essential reading for anyone with body image concerns. It is also a useful resource for professional therapists who wish to help clients who are experiencing distressing body-related thoughts and feelings."
--Dr Sarah Grogan, professor of health psychology at Staffordshire University, Staffordshire, UK, and author of "Body Image: Understanding Body Dissatisfaction in Men, Women, and Children "
Product Description
Americans boast the largest waistlines in the world, suffering from epidemic levels of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. Britain is not far behind and other nations with first-world affluence are all wrestling to varying degrees with this problem too. Even countries in the earlier stages of industrialization are starting to get caught up in the battle of the bulge. Despite the fact that we are all, on average, quite overweight, our cultural media promotes a "cult of the thin and beautiful". All of us are bombarded with images and messages all day that lead many to unhealthful obsessions with the shape of their bodies. At best, these body-image issues can be unpleasant and distracting from the goal of being healthy and happy. At worst they can lead to serious mental health problems like body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) or eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia nervosa.This revised edition of a classic workbook presents a complete approach to dealing with body image issues. It includes new evidence that confirms the effectiveness of its cognitive behavioural approach. The book presents new discussions of cosmetic surgery, weight loss, and other body-fixing options, as well as information for persons with physically disfiguring conditions. A major shift in this edition orients this book with others grounded in the tradition of mindfulness and acceptance.

I didn't find this book that helpful with body image issues. If you like writing about yourself and apending time looking in the mirror or lying on your bed thinking about yourself then it's ok but if you find all that a bit pointless and frustating then don't bother.

Format:Paperback
As an Anorexia sufferer I need all the help I can get to improve and get to grips with my body image. This book is a very useful tool, it is a work book set out in an easy to use, guided format. Sections can be completed gradually or over longer periods of time. It doesn't claim to be a winning formula for change but it definitely is a good catalyst. It has helped me think about things in a different way and thrown a different shade of light on my current beliefs and ideals.
Well worth a go!

It helped me!
22 July 2010
I think the quizzes and exercises in this book really helped me become aware of how I feel about my body. After I was through reading and working through it, I genuinely felt better about my body. The most useful part was weakening my reactions to what I saw in the mirror. I would recommend this book to anyone who constantly compares themselves to other people!

excellent workbook for people with a wide range of body image concerns
22 April 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This workbook is excellent and provides practical tips and coping strategies for a wide range of people with body image concerns. Optimally used when working with a therapist - but does provide a lot of self-help activities that can be useful for the motivated individual. Body image concerns are so common and prevalent in our society. Dr. Cash has truly done an outstanding job here finding ways to connect with and help those suffering from appearance-related difficulties.
