Dr. Cash's research program concerns the psychology of physical appearance -- how our looks and our views of our own looks affect our lives. His work includes two books on body image and numerous articles on physical attractiveness, appearance, stereotyping and discrimination, grooming behaviors, obesity, eating disorders, pattern hair loss, and cosmetic surgery. Most of his current research focuses on body-image assessment and cognitive-behavioral body-image therapy. His most recent book, The Body Image Workbook (New Harbinger, 1997), is an 8-step, empirically based program for body-image improvement.
