Product Description

Synopsis

This is Susie Orbach's classic text on anorexia, where for the first time the myths and misconceptions, of an emerging cultural epidemic were dispelled. Since its initial publication in 1986, Hunger Strike has been at the center of the debate over anorexia. This beautifully repackaged edition includes Susie Orbach's 1993 introduction, which discusses more recent attitudes toward eating problems and how they have changed over the last several years, and a revised final chapter, in which she proposes an innovative approach to residential treatment that utilizes the meanings of anorexia to the sufferer as a basis for therapy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not realistic at all, 21 May 2006
By Lucia Donofrio "fattychocolate" (Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this book is not like most ED books out there, it's not fiction and nor does it tell the tale of the author. it's not worth buying, but if it's in your local library and you need to research eating disorders, it'd be worth a look. not worth a place in your bookcase though.
