Once used exclusively by bodybuilders other athletes, steroids are now primarily consumed by men who want to look better. Steroids and the Growing Crisis of Male Body Image aims to introduce laypeople, clinicians, and academics to a better and more modern understanding of steroids and the men who use them. This informative new resource discusses the history of steroids, the stigma and stereotypes surrounding use, the role of steroids in the realm of eating disorder behavior, muscle dysmorphia, connections between steroid use and masculinity, as well as ideas for clinical and population-level interventions to help body dissatisfied men who are or have considered using steroids.

Scott Griffiths is a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney where he researches the male experience of eating disorders and body image disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and muscle dysmorphia, as well as issues surrounding mental illness stigmatisation, steroid use, gender roles, and cognitive and socio-emotional functioning. Stuart Murray, PhD is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California San Diego Eating Disorders Center for Treatment and Research Program.
