Product Description

Review

"The Golden Cage is eminently readable and generously spiced with vivid illustrations from Bruch's own clinical case material. Her discussion of and generalization from this material are wonderfully astute." - Contemporary Psychology"

Product Description

More than five million Americans suffer from eating disorders, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, and an estimated 1,000 women die each year from anorexia nervosa. Often quoting her patients' descriptions of their own experience of illness and recovery, Hilde Bruch described the relentless pursuit of thinness and the search for superiority in self-denial that characterize anorexia nervosa.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Golden Cage deserves it`s reputation as a must read for those involved with Eating Disorders., 21 April 2009

By	Someone (Somewhere) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Golden Cage: The Enigma of Anorexia Nervosa (Mass Market Paperback)

Having had an eating disorder for many years, and been in varying forms of treatment, I also have a keen interest in research into the causes of eating disorders.
Although this book focuses slightly too much on the feminist ideology of eating disorders (men and boys make up a significant minority of those with eating disorders), it is very well written. One must remember, that as a classic, it is a classic of it`s time, too (ie; the 1970`s).
Hilde Bruch has made a huge impact on research into eaing disorders, and can only be thanked for that.
