Positive Body Image Workbook: A Clinical and Self-Improvement Guide

Whether you buy this to work through yourself, or to use with clients, this book has so many activities and resources. It is backed up by scientific research in every chapter, extremely well researched. The book touched on so many areas crucial to body image, such as self-compassion and gentle nutrition. All the activities are also available on request as a PDF too, which is really helpful for working online with clients. I would thoroughly recommend this book for anyone looking to improve or work with body image.

I fully recommend the Positive Body Image Workbook both for clinicians AND clients (I'm a clinican)! There is a plethora of knowledge and awareness in these chapters! I like that the authors wrote it so that you can use it chapter by chapter with a client or even a single chapter at a time. The worksheets are fantastic for working through with clients in session or out of session. It's a really good book and definitely most needed for our profession....!

Im a mental health Therapist and I am using this book with clients. One of the best therapy workbooks I've ever purchased.

As a body image researcher and advocate, I love that the authors put all of this information in one book. There are great exercises that can be used on your own, or with patients (if you are a therapist) or with students (if you are a teacher). There's an overview of most of the critical concepts in body image work, and there are even assessment tools for measuring your own body image (or others' body image). If you see patients who ever have body image concerns or work in settings where body image concerns are prevalent (high schools, colleges), you should buy this book! If you just want to come to understand your own body image better (and improve it!), you should buy this book!

I am a college based counselor and was desperately seeking a resource to build a body image support group. This workbook has guided the way to some powerful healing moments amongst group members, and I cannot believe it is so affordable. It is also allowing me to grow as a clinician. I make sure to cite Barcalow, Tykla & Judge each session as they deserve the recognition. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend the Positive Body Image Workbook for clinicians and their patients, as well as anyone seeking to increase positive body image. It’s very accessible and comprehensive. The handouts and measures are informed by the most up-to-date research and are excellent for building insight and tracking progress. The authors effectively address the many facets of body image concerns and positivity. I have seen the benefits of using this resource in my clinical work.
