Body Shame Conceptualisation, Research and Treatment

'For those working with patients who experience any form of body disfigurment this book covers all the issues comprehensively... the section on psychological disorders is particularly insightful and well referenced... all chapters are extensively referenced and offer a balanced view. This is an excellent book in every respect.' - Mike Lehane, Nursing Standard

'This edited work is clearly structured in a way that should inform and stimulate debate on the subject of body shame... I would recommend this book.' - Professor Glenn Waller, Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy Journal

'Shame... is a hot topic in psychotherapy and counselling at the moment - and rightly so: understanding shame seems increasingly to be key to facilitating change. Although Body Shame falls within the discipline of clinical psychology rather than therapy or counselling, it is bound to be of value to any practitioner - in particular, but by no means exclusively, body psychotherapists.' - Nick Totton in Self & Society, Vol 31 No 2, June - July 2003
