Synopsis

As body image research continues to expand, it can be difficult for clinicians and researchers to know how to choose the most appropriate measures to assess and treat patients. This handbook provides a comprehensive and well-organized catalogue of existing body image and related measures, detailing their descriptions, psychometric properties, and recommended applications, enabling readers to easily identify the most suitable tools for their studies or clinical work. It also offers guidance on adapting these measures for diverse cultural contexts, ensuring assessments are culturally relevant and sensitive. The book features step-by-step instructions on how to administer, score, and interpret each measure, with real-world examples that make it highly practical and accessible. With its focus on accuracy, cultural sensitivity, and ease of application, this handbook is invaluable for researchers, counselors, educators, and health professionals focused on body image.
