SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
In addition to reviewing evidence for sociocultural influences on body image, the book reviews recent literature and includes new data on body-modification practices (cosmetic surgery, piercing, tattooing, and bodybuilding), and takes a critical look at interventions designed to promote positive body image. It also attempts to link body image to physical health, looking in particular at motivations for potentially health-damaging practices such as anabolic steroid use and cosmetic surgery.
