Recognizing that problems with body image are often the lead cause
of eating disorders, therapists are increasingly looking for
innovative and effective ways to address these issues with clients.
This book is packed with simple, inexpensive art-based activities
that use a range of media to engage with common body image concerns
openly and creatively. The activities employ basic principles from
Behavioral Therapy including mindfulness and emotion regulation and
use common and familiar objects to create a reassuring environment.
Discussion and evaluation are encouraged throughout to enhance
awareness and appreciation of self. All the exercises, and their
objectives, are thoroughly explained with illustrative case studies
and sample artworks from the author's extensive therapeutic
experience. These adaptable art exercises will be the perfect
resource for any professional to promote healthy body image in
group or individual work, with girls and women. They can be used as
preventative strategies with girls still developing their
identities, and will be especially useful at all stages of eating
disorder treatment programs.
