Abstract:
BRIDGE (Building the Relationship Between Body Image and Disordered Eating Graph and Explanation) is a tool for mental health professionals, parents, teachers, and the general public. BRIDGE offers the potential for a new level of understanding between body image and disordered eating behaviors. This tool provides a framework that describes the connection between the attitudes we hold about our bodies and the corresponding behaviors we may practice. This practical tool takes fundamental concepts established in the eating disorder literature and presents them in a basic and easily understood manner. This paper invites further testing of this educational tool for parents, teachers, and professionals in a number of contexts including prevention and treatment programs.
