“…A recent meta-analysis on the efficacy of CBT for BDD symptoms revealed a mean effect size of d = 1.22 at post-treatment and d = .89 at 2 to 4 months post-treatment (Harrison, Fernández de la Cruz, Enander, Radua, & Mataix-Cols, 2016). Similarly, a meta-analysis on standalone CBT intervention for body image revealed a mean effect size of d = 1.01 (Jarry & Ip, 2005). Accordingly, the present results demonstrate that CBT-BISC was highly effective in reducing body image disturbance, and the effects are consistent with, or stronger in magnitude, than other CBT treatments for body image disturbance.…”

Objective Body image disturbance is a distressing and interfering problem among many sexual minority men living with HIV, and is associated with elevated depressive symptoms and poor HIV self-care (e.g., antiretroviral therapy [ART] non-adherence). The current study tested the preliminary efficacy of a newly created intervention: cognitive behavioral therapy for body image and self-care (CBT-BISC) for this population. Methods The current study entailed a two-arm randomized controlled trial (N = 44) comparing CBT-BISC to an enhanced treatment as usual (ETAU) condition. Analyses were conducted at 3 and 6 months after baseline. The primary outcome was body image disturbance (BDD-YBOCS), and secondary outcomes were ART adherence (electronically monitored via Wisepill), depressive symptoms (MADRS), and global functioning (GAF). Results At 3 months, the CBT-BISC condition showed substantial improvement in BDD-YBOCS (b = −13.6, SE = 2.7, 95% CI: −19.0, −8.3, p < .001; dppc2 = 2.39), MADRS (b = −4.9, SE = 2.8, 95% CI: −10.6, .70, p = .086; dppc2 = .87), ART adherence (b = 8.8, SE = 3.3, 95% CI: 2.0, 15.6, p = .01; dppc2 = .94), and GAF (b = 12.3, SE = 3.2, 95% CI: 6.1, 18.6, p < .001; dppc2 = 2.91) compared to the ETAU condition. Results were generally maintained, or improved, at 6 months; although, adherence findings were mixed depending on the calculation method. Conclusions CBT-BISC shows preliminary efficacy in the integrated treatment of body image disturbance and HIV self-care behaviors among sexual minority men living with HIV.

“…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). However, as with interventions to reduce internalization, most research has been carried out with women.…”

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.

“…Although BID was conceptualized as a one-dimensional construct in earlier studies, it is now generally defined as a multidimensional construct with a perceptual, an attitudinal, and a behavioral component [3][4][5]. The perceptual component of BID is defined as the relative inaccuracy of individuals' judgment regarding the shape of their whole body or of diversified body parts [6].…”
