5.0 out of 5 stars
unique insight,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eating Disorders: Obesity, Anorexia Nervosa, And The Person Within (Paperback)
Studies today revolve around body image and ignore the emotions and thoght processes vital to understanding eating disorders. Bruch brilliantly describes what it is to suffer from these wayward thought processes, and offers an incredibly insightful and intimate look into the world of an anorexic. Excellent for those who are suffers and for those trying to understand.

A Real and Caring Analysis and Potential Solution,

This review is from: Eating Disorders: Obesity, Anorexia Nervosa, And The Person Within (Paperback)
This book is excellent. It's probably a classic or "the" classic (I don't know it's not my field). I read it many years ago, probably just after it was published, and I still remember most of its lessons. Anyone interested in "weight studies" should buy and read this book.Reading a recent article on women's neurology I was astounded that the writers/scientists never once mentioned psychotherapy and the role of emotions and early childhood experiences in their literature analysis. It was as if anorexia and bulimia were genetic diseases, existing outside of culture. I know it's very hard to treat anorexia (bulimia is easier) but it is possible and Bruch outlines how to do it.
