Synopsis:

The negative body-image epidemic that affects millions of women is also a hidden problem for millions of men. In spite of a decade-long emphasis on health and fitness - or perhaps because of it - more men are suffering from a variety of eating disorders and self-abusive behaviors. Using vignettes from their patients, the authors present a new program to help men overcome these problems. They offer ways to enhance self-image, facts about why diets fail, information about the dangers of using steroids, and a section for women who want to help the men in their life.

Synopsis: Based on numerous vignettes and patient stories, this unique book discusses the often ignored but important male body image--focusing on the attitudes and behaviors that have led a growing number of men into eating disorders and self-abusive behaviors. Original. Tour.
