Feeling Good about the Way You Look: A Program for Overcoming Body Image Problems

I'm a child therapist and thought I knew something about body dysmorphia. This book took my understanding from understanding from about a 3 to a 9 out of 10. Since reading this book I have discovered and diagnosed aspects of my clients internal dialogues that I never ever would have thought to explore if I had not read this book.

This book was great! I suggest reading it through, but then re-reading the chapters that are "work". You have some homework in this book which is great to help you get through your body image issues, however, the con I really saw in this book was Sabine's way of labeling you. She teaches you how to move away from that yourself, but she mentions Body Dismorphic Disorder so many times and kind of pushes it on you to make you feel you too have it. Even though yoyu may or may not, it doesn't make you feel any better. I wish she never labeled you with a problem, rather just stated that you struggle with your image. I think she could be a little less clinical, but the book was well written and could be tremendously helpful. Read, then go back.

I just started this book and I haven't completed it yet, I'm extremely impressed already. This book is a powerful resource. It is well written and it works! It was written for us folks with small/large body image dilemmas (mostly non-eating disorders).It can be used as a self help resource or in conjunction with therapy. It can even be given to your therapist as a resource for them to help you. I struggle with acne scars and I am relieved to find the first pages (and subsequent pages) directly address this issue.This book gives hope and help. I can't say enough positive about this book. It is life-changing.God bless the author

I, personally, did not find this book very useful. Perhaps I don't like self- help books.

A book that uses cognitive behavioural therapy as a process todeal with body imperfections. This volume deals with perceptionsor misperceptions of the troubling areas of appearance and howwe are affected by them in thought and emotion. Steps are givenfor identifying problem areas and use of therapy to treat appearanceproblems.

this is a great book! the discussion of CBT is inestimable. It is useful even if you don't have BDD -- Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Dr. Wilhelm is a nice person.

written in and not in description

Gave as a gift

Excellent, well written and easy to understand. Practical exercises to do that are easy to follow. Would definitely recommend to those with poor body image issues

I would like to continue to read the kindle edition of this book, however the forms that I need to start the programme are illegible,however much I zoom in to read them. For people who want to engage with the programme properly, the kindle edition isn't suitable.
