Body image of children and adolescents and its measurement: an overview
Can J Psychiatry.
1992 Aug.
Abstract
The lack of a universally accepted definition of body image has impeded our understanding of body image disturbances in children and adolescents. This paper examines the evolution of body image as a multidimensional construct and the difficulties associated with the use of human figure drawing to measure body image. Directions for future research are considered.
