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.

This book is exceptional. It is hands-on and very approachable. I have read many articles and books on body image and this is by far the most usable. I love the practical applications and ways it thoughtfully asks the reader to check their own biases, as well as be aware of layers of societal beliefs and often discrimination of anyone living outside of the appearance ideals. This book is an excellent way to help shake up client beliefs (as well as our own!) about the things we have been taught to believe about what it means to have a body. It’s a resource I’m excited to utilize with my clients to help bring more people to a place of peace 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....!

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!

This workbook is incredible! I absolutely love all the prompts and chapters of this book. Was recommended by my nutritionist and have now put other family members onto this book since using it. 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.
