Sinossi

Body Standards explores how pervasive media influence impacts body image and overall health. It examines the construction of beauty standards through various platforms—from traditional media to social media—and analyzes the psychological and physical health consequences of pursuing these often unattainable ideals. The book uniquely combines media analysis with a thorough examination of psychological and health implications to illuminate the complex relationship between media representation and self-perception.

 
The book traces the historical evolution of beauty ideals, highlighting how media has amplified and accelerated changes from voluptuous figures in pre-20th-century art to the thin ideal popularized today. Media's constant portrayal of narrowly defined beauty standards contributes significantly to negative body image, impacting self-esteem and mental health.

 
The book progresses through key sections: examining the mechanisms of media influence, exploring health consequences like eating disorders and anxiety, and analyzing social and cultural factors that perpetuate these issues.

 
Ultimately, Body Standards aims to equip readers with the knowledge and tools to navigate the complex media landscape, foster positive body image, and make informed decisions about their health and well-being. It provides practical strategies for change and promotes a healthier media environment.

    In this 2024 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Valerie Andrews explores the complex dimensions of home, including its physical, psychological, and emotional aspects. She says we carry a sense of place and identity with us wherever we go, and that the time of sheltering in place gave us time to assess our circumstances when it came to our home. Was it a safe place with nurturing roommates? Was it a pleasant place that offered inspiration and beauty? Or was it cluttered, unsafe, or upsetting? She also enlightens us about the human need to find a home in nature, saying ”Once you find a home in nature, you are never lost.” We are made of the same matter as earth; breathing the breath of forests, our tears and blood the salty ocean. This deep dialogue includes how home is a laboratory for understanding ourselves. Andrews also shares insights on the caretaking of family members and other loved ones wanting to age in place including those who choose to die at home. 
    Valerie Andrews is a writer, editor, and seminar leader specializing in Jungian psychology and the inner life of home. She is a graduate of the Guild for Spiritual Guidance and the editor of the digital magazine Reinventing Home: Culture, Creativity, Character.  She is the author and editor of these books:A Passion for This Earth (Harper Collins 1994)Sanctuary: The Inner Life of Home (Editor) (Chiron Publications 2024)
