Hello Lisa,
We have a new bibliography on this subject.
>Consuming Identities: Young Women, Eating Disorders and the Media
A Research Agenda and Annotated Bibliography<
By Marie L. Hoskins and Kristy Dellebuur
A new research report from the BC Centre of Excellence for Women's Health.
What is the current understanding of self and the construction of identity
in girls? Given that eating disorders involve body image, how do images,
particularly media images, become internalized into the self-concept?
This report addresses these questions and covers the broad areas of self
and self-identity, prevention and the media in relation to research on
young women and eating disorders. The authors identify gaps in the
literature and pose research questions to form a research agenda on how
identities are formed in relation to eating disorders and body image
disturbances, and how prevention efforts could be improved.
This report costs $15, low income women pay what you can. If you would
like to order this report or any other BC Centre of Excellence for Women's

Hello there!
Just wondering, can anyone direct me to some current literature addressing
the issue of excessive exercising and weight preoccupation in women? Names
of researchers and/or names of articles would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
