Concept information

Preferred term

feminist perspective and body image disorders  

Definition(s)

  • Body image disorders (BIDs) encompass the clinical diagnoses of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and body dysmorphic disorder, all of which feature significant distress surrounding the way in which the body is experienced. Prior to discussing feminist theory and BIDs, it is important to note that traditionally the term disorder is underemphasized in feminist literature.
