Abstract
Despite the call for an increased emphasis on mental health and resilience, there is a dearth of research that examines the protective factors that can buffer women from the development of body image concerns. This article reviews literature related to the development of body image in girls and women, explores a proposed theoretical model of body image resilience based on factors that protect women from body image dissatisfaction, and discusses the model's implications for counseling practice.
