There is a growing body of research exploring the effectiveness of
yoga as a pathway to positive embodiment for those at-risk for and
struggling with eating disorders. This book provides a
comprehensive look at the state of the field. This book begins with
an introduction to positive embodiment, eating disorders, and yoga.
It also offers insights into the personal journey of each of the
editors as they share what brought them to this work. The first
section of this book explores the empirical and conceptual
rationale for approaching eating disorder prevention and treatment
through the lens of embodiment and yoga. The next section of the
text integrates the history of embodiment theory as related to yoga
and eating disorders, provides the logic model for change and
guidance for researchers, and offers a critical social justice
perceptive of the work to date. The third section addresses the
efficacy of yoga in the prevention and treatment of eating
disorders including a comprehensive review and meta-analysis as
well as five research studies demonstrating the various approaches
to exploring the preventative and therapeutic effects of yoga for
disordered eating. The final section of this book closes with a
chapter on future directions and offers guidance for what is next
in both practice and research. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special edition of Eating Disorders: The
Journal of Treatment & Prevention.
It's hard to decide which is more frightening--the "food" teenagers
enjoy, or the things they say about their bodies. Whether it's your
son's passion for chips and soda or your daughter's announcement
that she "feels fat," kids' attitude about how they look and what
they should eat often seem devoid of common sense. In a world where
television and school cafeterias push super-sized sandwiches while
magazines feature pencil-thin models, many teens feel pressured to
starve themselves and others eat way too much. Blending her
experience as the mother of four with results from a survey of
nearly 5,000 teens, Dr. Diane Neumark-Sztainer shows you how to
respond constructively to "fat talk," counteract negative media
messages, and give your kids the straight story about nutrition and
calories, the dangers of dieting, and eating right when they're
away from home. Full of examples illustrating the challenges teens
face today, this upbeat and insightful book is packed with great
ideas that will help kids everywhere feel better about their looks
and make healthier choices about eating and exercise.
