Increasingly boys and men are suffering with eating disorders and related body image problems. This title applies the research to produce a practical, problem-focused self-help manual for men with eating disorders and body image problems. It covers the cultural context of male body image problems and science fact and science fiction.
Increasingly boys and men are suffering with eating disorders and related body image problems. Some have full-blown conditions such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating, compulsive exercising or bigorexia. Others are distressed by slightly lesser degrees of disordered eating or over-exercise and seek ways of overcoming their problems.

The Invisible Man applies the latest research to produce a practical, problem-focused self-help manual for men with eating disorders and body image problems. Divided into four sections, this evidence-based survival kit covers:



the wider cultural context of male body image problems
features unique to men
science fact and science fiction
a 7 stage approach to treatment.

By combining the science of cognitive behaviour therapy with motivational enhancement and problem-solving therapies, The Invisible Man provides help to all men with body image disorders, as well as families and professionals involved in their care.

John F. Morgan is head of the Yorkshire Centre for Eating Disorders. John's research portfolio addresses causes and treatments of eating disorders, and he has written commentaries on eating and body image disorders in men for journals and media.
