From Eating Disorders to Dysfunctional Eating Attitudes and Behaviors Continuum : The Core of Body Perceptions

This edited volume offers a comprehensive, evidence-based exploration of dysfunctional eating attitudes and behaviours through the lens of body perceptions.Bringing together international experts, the book bridges theoretical, empirical, and applied perspectives to deepen understanding of how body image, embodiment, and sociocultural factors shape eating-related distress.The volume highlights the impact of contemporary phenomena, such as social media and the COVID-19 pandemic, while proposing innovative approaches to assessment and intervention, including virtual reality and prevention programs.By adopting a dimensional and inclusive framework, this volume moves beyond diagnostic categories to address diverse populations and real-world contexts, ultimately promoting integrated, person-centered strategies for mental health and well-being.
