a randomized, controlled trial of mindfulness plus exposure for improving body image in women
abstract
research supports a multifaceted conception of body image incorporating attitudinal and behavioural elements. cognitive-behavioural therapy including psychoeducation and body image exposure are two therapeutic approaches with demonstrated success in improving body image. mindfulness practice, which has already been incorporated into a number of successful psychological treatments, has yet to be integrated into empirically tested body image treatment programs.
