Editors

Heidi Moffatt

To enhance therapeutic treatment of body image, this book examines the multi-factors involved in body image as well as the neuroscience of body image, that is the role of the brain in body image development.

Examining the social, cultural, psychological and environmental implications of body image, readers are guided through various problems, clinical populations, treatment settings, art therapy approaches, best practices, and clinical case examples.

Content is divided into categories of: body image in medical settings, eating disorder treatment, and trauma - including chapters on amputations, s*x trafficking, trauma, q***r body image, peri and postpartum, cancer, and other medical conditions.
