Contrary to popular belief, eating disorders and body image problems affect millions of boys and men.
Hosted by Dr. Roberto Olivardia of Harvard Medical School, this presentation will focus on the history of body image in males, as well as the various manifestations of body image and eating disorders we see today in boys and men, including eating disorders, body dysmorphic disorder, and muscle dysmorphia. Attention will be paid to how these issues present themselves differently in males, as well as co-morbid disorders and treatment issues. Understanding the role that traditional notions of masculinity play in male body image and how popular culture and media imagery capitalizes and contributes to the issue will be discussed.
