Body image is an important issue for adolescents. This is related to the surrounding appearance that is considered attractive by most people where beautiful people are those who have a tall body and white skin. The purpose of this Systematic review is to analyze the effect of psychological interventions on adolescent's body image. Systematic review accessed five electronic databases (Scopus, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Science Direct, and ProQuest). The search was carried out from April to June. 25 articles were analyzed. Most of the psychological interventions provided offline were 16 studies and the rest were through indirect intervention methods. The research design consisted of 17 randomized control trials and 8 studies using quasi-experimental. Two types of psychological interventions can be used as alternatives to enhance and maintain a positive body image: direct psychological intervention and indirect psychological intervention using technology.

Abstract Research shows that most people experience at least one traumatic event in their lifetimes, and between 6% and 8% of those with a history of trauma will develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or related mental health conditions. Women face a greater threat of trauma exposure and have a higher risk of PTSD and depression than men. Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TSY), a body-based adjunctive therapy, has shown potential in several studies as an effective method for reducing PTSD and depression symptoms. However, existing research and systematic reviews vary widely in their methodological rigor and comparison samples. Thus, in this systematic review we examined the effectiveness of TSY among women with a history of trauma and depression who had participated in randomized control trials with clear control and experimental groups. Findings in fixed- and mixed-effects meta-analysis models suggest marginally significant to no effects of TSY on PTSD and depression outcomes. Our systematic review highlights critical questions and significant gaps in the existing literature about the rationale and best practices of TSY intervention duration.
