Introduction. Research on body image traditionally has focused on describing and predicting negative body image such as body dissatisfaction, body shame, and body preoccupation, with less focus on identi-fying, predicting, and promoting adaptive body attitudes (Avalos, Tylka, & Wood-Barcalow, 2005).
While some people focus intensely and repeatedly on their body, others try to avoid looking at their body altogether. In this module we will tackle a second behaviour that keeps poor body image going, body avoidance. It is very common for people with eating disorders to swing between body checking and body avoidance.

Conceptual Context and Scale Construction. Body image is a multifaceted psychological construct that includes subjective attitudinal and perceptual experiences about one’s body, particularly its appearance (Cash & Pruzinsky, 1990).
Having a negative body image can contribute to feelings of anxiety, anger, depression and shame, and will reduce your confidence in yourself. If your body image has a negative impact on your life, find ways to identify and change your thoughts and beliefs about your body.
The aims of the group are: To help patients understand what factors influence the maintenance of their body image. To give a place for patients to explore their distress regarding their changing body shape. To encourage participants to explore the difference between satisfaction & acceptance.
