In presenting a survey of modern approaches to the prevention of eating disorders, this text argues that models of prevention as opposed to treatment are conceptually flawed. The first half of the book addresses general approaches and dilemmas, including feminist and participatory approaches to the problem and the role played by fashion magazines and television in promoting risk factors such as dieting and thin ideal-body images. The second half provides examples of concrete strategies and projects aimed at prevention, including school-based programmes, approaches to early identification and prevention by general practitioners and the principles of screening programmes.
