“…CBT interventions have been reported to be extremely effective in promoting positive body image in non-clinical populations (Cash and Hrabosky 2004;Cash and Strachan 2002). Reviews of the characteristics and effectiveness of body image interventions have concluded that CBT can be highly effective for producing long-term changes in body image (Jarry and Berardi 2004;Jarry and Ip 2005).

Research presented in this special issue focuses on a number of key contemporary themes relating to gendered body image. This paper considers what these studies tell us about the associations between body image and self-esteem, internalization of thin/muscular ideals, social comparison, and social identity and makes suggestions for interventions to improve body image in girls/ women and boys/men. It is concluded that psycho-social interventions to reduce internalization, to make social comparison processes more realistic, to raise self-esteem and to enable people to question social identities related to body dissatisfaction may be useful short-term solutions to improving body image in males and females with negative images of their bodies. Since most evidence for effectiveness of these kinds of interventions has focused on women and girls, more work is needed on how to make these effective for men and boys.

Background: Prevalence of body image disorder in postpartum period, especially in primiparous women is relatively high. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral group therapy based on the cash's eight-step model in body image of primiparous women. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral group therapy based on the cash's eight-step model in body image of primiparous women. Methods: This research was a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study in which, 61 primiparous women referring to health centers in Zahedan were selected according to convenience sampling method and randomly assigned into intervention and control groups. The multidimensional body-self relations questionnaire (MBSRQ) was used to collect data. The intervention group received group cognitive behavioral body image therapy based on the Cash model and the control group remained pending. After six weeks, both groups completed the MBSRQ again. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and analysis of covariance in SPSS 22. Results: Analysis of covariance showed that the mean scores on appearance evaluation (P = 0.0001), body areas satisfaction (P = 0.0001), and the total score of body image (P = 0.0001) in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group. However, in terms of appearance orientation, fitness evaluation, fitness orientation, and subjective weight, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Due to the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy based on Cash model in primiparous women's body image, it is recommended to use this method of consultation in health care programs after child birth to improve the women's body image and prevent subsequent psychological problems.

We decided to use an established cognitive behavioral therapy (BI-CBT) component, as it is effective in improving BI in college students, eating disorders, or body dysmorphic disorders.…”
