| Summary or Abstract
|
:
|
Eating pathology has become an increasing concern in our society. It has been reported that over 70 of adolescent girls of normal weight are engaging in unhealthy eating behaviors. Since treatment for eating disorders has been largely ineffective in long term follow-up studies, a successful prevention program for young adolescents is warranted. Those programs that have the most success share a common characteristic: a focus on self-esteem enhancement. Self-esteem enhancement and a focus on successful prevention programs are key values of positive psychology. Positive psychology is a developing perspective that focuses on the nurturing of strengths, rather than repairing weaknesses, to increase the efficacy of treatment..
