OverviewDon't allow a negative body image to ruin your life. 'Not only a truly comprehensive self-help guide but an enormously helpful resource for professionals. With this book, the authors have made a great contribution to the alleviation of suffering' Kevin Gournay CBE, emeritus professor, King's College London Few of us are happy with our bodies, but three in every hundred people have a body image problem. One that frequently occurs is body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) - a recognised psychological condition when people become fixated on perceived defects in their appearance, very real to them but not apparent to others. Other body image problems can arise from difficulty in dealing with a disfigurement, eating disorders or dissatisfaction with weight or shape. Such preoccupations not only cause distress but can lead to anxiety or social phobia. This guide is written by authors who are highly experienced in treating BDD and will provide you with: - A clear, step-by-step course based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques - The tools to enable you to understand, work through and take control of your life again Overcoming self-help guides use clinically proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical. Many guides in the Overcoming series are recommended under the Reading Well scheme.
