Abstract: | Research supports a multifaceted conception of body image incorporating attitudinal and behavioural elements. Cognitive-behavioural therapy including psychoeducation and body image exposure are two therapeutic approaches with demonstrated success in improving body image. Mindfulness practice, which has already been incorporated into a number of successful psychological treatments, has yet to be integrated into empirically tested body image treatment programs. |
