Description

Explore the growing impact of Western culture on self-perception with Body Image: New Research. This book examines how the increasing value placed on physical appearance and slenderness over the last two decades has shaped modern mental health. As unrealistic targets for thinness and weight loss become more common, many face challenges such as eating disorders, the pressure of obligatory exercise, and other psychological issues. This work addresses how media images of ultra-thin models in magazines, newspapers, and on television drive dissatisfaction with one's own body. This publication brings together leading international research to provide a deep look into this alarming field. It is an essential resource for those studying psychology, psychiatry, and the social drivers of mental health and illness. Gain a better understanding of the connection between societal standards and individual well-being through this collection of expert research.
