Abstract
Call me pessimistic, but I am concerned that current approaches to reducing
the public health burden of body dissatisfaction (BD) and eating disordered
behaviour (EDB), in which efforts are focused on prevention of new cases of
the most severe disorders, are unlikely to achieve the large-scale impact that
we all agree is needed. The article by Austin (Austin, 2015), which I had the
opportunity to review prior to writing the current piece, exemplifies such a
focus and I shall use it in the current contribution to highlight my concerns,
while also outlining my thoughts about the sort of alternative approach that I
believe will be needed to achieve such impact.
