520    "Modern industrialized society chronically and pervasively
       objectifies the female body, and many women have come to 
       view themselves through the lens of an external observer, 
       habitually monitoring their own appearance whether in 
       public or private settings. Given the negative effects 
       associated with self-objectification-such as body shame, 
       appearance anxiety, depression, and disordered eating-an 
       empirically based approach to researching and 
       counteracting self-objectification is critical. This book 
       integrates recent research developments and current 
       clinical knowledge on self-objectification in women. Using
       Barbara L. Fredrickson and Tomi-Ann Roberts' 
       objectification theory as a framework, the contributors 
       address various aspects of the theory, including evidence 
       for and causes of self-objectification across the life 
       span, psychological consequences, and associated mental 
       health risks. The book also discusses various scales for 
       measuring self-objectification, as well as approaches to 
       prevent and disrupt this phenomenon. With research from a 
       variety of disciplines-psychology, sociology, anthropology,
       women's studies, and political science-this book should be
       read by everyone interested in the well-being of women"--
