Summary

"Time after time in my conversations with hospital patients I was bewildered when they informed me 'I became more anorexic for the doctors!' and when their mothers told me 'They said I shouldn't love my daughter so much!'" Feeding Anorexia" helps us all to comprehend such unintended consequences of mainstream treatments. It should lead to the reconsideration of anorexia itself and its treatment by professionals such as myself."--David Epston, coauthor of" Biting the Hand That Starves You: Inspiring Resistance to Anorexia/Bulimia "and "Narrative Means to Therapeutic Ends ""Many have sensed that anorexia makes visible in some way pathologies that are particular to liberal consumer society, but few have grasped its nature and significance as acutely as Helen Gremillion. Her account is as compelling as it is compassionate."--Jean Comaroff, University of Chicago
