The present issue of the Portuguese Journal of Behavioral and Social Research offers relevant studies for those interested in research with adolescent and young adult populations, being investigated subjects especially related to body image, but also aspects related to traumatic experiences of interpersonal nature within these populations. In the last decades, modern societies have been giving extreme value to body appearance and shape. An ideally slim and firm body, not always available, may involve negative consequences for physical and mental health. This ideal is a product of a cultural moment and has come to be expressed as body dissatisfaction and distortion of body image in more and more people.
