Body Image for Boys |
Body Image for Boys
As the idealized male physique continues to be hyped in movies, on TV, in magazines, and
on billboards, a rapidly growing number of men are becoming obsessed with appearance. Each
year alone, they spend billions on gym memberships and home exercise equipment—and
women are no longer alone in battling anorexia and body dysmorphic disorder. This topical
program explores some of the issues facing young men today as they struggle to define
themselves amidst the flood of media-generated images of male physical perfection. Experts
including Divya Kakaiya, the visionary founder and clinical director of the Healthy Within
treatment center; Leigh Cohn, co-author of the seminal Making Weight: Men’s Conflicts
with Food, Weight, Shape, and Appearance; and UCLA Healthcare sports medicine physician
Gary Green as well as a number of young patients grapple with problems such as steroid
abuse, eating disorders, exercise addiction, and phony food supplements. A Cambridge
Educational Production.
