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

This clear and easy-to-use workbook provides clinicians, clients, and those interested in self-improvement with a practical guide to understanding and improving body image through the latest research findings and clinical tools.

An array of assignments are also included for clients and readers to complete based on their values, needs and interests to provide positive body image.
