Does the mirror reflect a satisfactory or unsatisfactory image? Is the new diet promising weight loss and self-confidence appealing? What role do your weight and body shape play in your life?

Everyone has their own body image, a perception that is accompanied by emotions and behaviors related to the body. Why do some people develop a negative evaluation of their bodies? What role do the media play? Is it normal to dislike one's body, and is it necessary to improve body image satisfaction? Can cosmetic surgery, weighing or dieting help maintain a healthy body image? These are just a few of the questions this book sets out to answer, bringing together research findings, food for thought, knowledge on the subject and practical interventions to help you reconnect with your body.

This book is aimed at the general public as well as professionals. It's for anyone who wants to understand their own body image, reduce body preoccupation and develop healthy practices aimed at positive body image or body neutrality. It is also aimed at parents and teachers who are concerned about the impact they can have on young people, and who wish to support them in developing a healthy relationship with their body. This book is intended as a tool for reflection and intervention, not only for oneself, but also for others, to promote the development of a more positive relationship with one's body.
