Abstract

Body-image dissatisfaction (BID) is increasingly a concern among men, with gay and bisexual men (GBM) at particular risk. Mental health professionals are in a position to counsel this population; however, many are not adequately trained to treat BID in GBM. Interventions to treat BID in GBM are often excluded from mental health scholarship. To address this gap, this article describes how to implement early recollections (ERs) to unmask themes and meaning of BID among GBM. Theoretical foundations of ERs are reviewed, and a case vignette is examined to illustrate how to implement and analyze ERs.
