The primary aim of the current study is to assess acceptability and feasibility of online body image exposure and self-compassion interventions before conducting a larger RCT.
This study will determine the feasibility and effectiveness of delivering an online therapy for eating pathology and body image disturbance. It will address body image and eating pathology in a non-clinical group of young adult women, who are at risk of developing such problems . The feasibility study will determine whether there are any difficulties that would need to be addressed in recruitment, online delivery and assessment of those treatments.
