"This remarkable Handbook is encyclopedic in scope. It manages to
cover in one volume all aspects of body image - from developmental
and cultural aspects to psychological, pharmacological, and
surgical interventions. It will be an invaluable resource for all
those interested in body image and its disorders."- Christopher G.
Fairburn, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Oxford, UK
"It is a pleasure to find a book that so ably fulfills its purpose
with authority and thoroughness, and without pedantry or tedium.
This well-edited volume will be helpful - even indispensable - to
students and professionals concerned with body image and its
alterations: real or imagined, congenital, developmental, or
acquired. Pediatricians, psychologists, psychiatrists, social
workers, plastic surgeons, dermatologists, endoctrinologists,
gynecologists, urologists, oncologists, internists, and others will
find the range of the chapters extensive and their readability
admirable."- Robert M. Goldwyn, Clinical Professor of Surgery,
Harvard Medical School, USA
"Everyone has heard that body image dissatisfaction is common
enough in teenage girls to be considered a normative discontent.
Few, however, know exactly what body image is, how it changes over
the lifecycle, or how best to measure it. Moreover, few realize
that body image is as relevant to such fields as dentistry,
dermatology, and oncology as it is to psychology and psychiatry.
Cash and Pruzinsky have assembled the world's experts to produce
this definitive volume. It will be read eagerly by undergraduate
and graduate students, but particularly by practitioners who seek
to alleviate the distress associated with negative body image in
its many manifestations. This is a 'must read." - Thomas A. Wadden,
Department of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania School of
Medicine, USA
"Provides a wealth of ideas for those interested in this
fascinating topic and will serve as a valuable and frequently
referenced resource."- The New England Journal of Medicine
"This book is remarkable in its scope, including information
difficult to find elsewhere, and nowhere singly... Equally
appropriate for the sophisticated layperson, undergraduate and
graduate students of the mental health professions, as well as
practitioners and researchers of the medical and behavioral
sciences." - Psychology of Women Quarterly
"Researchers, especially graduate students, will find a wealth of
information on assessment instruments and future directions for
study [The book] also will give clinicians such as psychiatrists,
psychologists, and mental health professionals a deeper
understanding of cutting-edge issues"- Journal of the American
Medical Association
