Recently revised and updated and containing extensive critical
research, Elena Faccio's book addresses the historical and symbolic
origins of a widespread cultural phenomenon. The text compares and
contrasts current models of interpretation, provides an in-depth
guide for intervention, and highlights the strengths and weaknesses
of a variety of diagnostic instruments, theories and possible
treatment plans, Nevertheless the author recognises the limited
role that research can play in understanding and treatment of the
disorder. The book thus tackles medical, environmental,
physiological, aesthetic and genetic factors which might play their
part in the development of eating disorders. This is a major
strength of the book. A further key point to recommend it is that
the author manages to make a complex subject relatively simple
without ever losing sight of the intricate and individual nature of
the disorder. Thus students, researchers, psychologists and
clinical practitioners as well as the general reader, should find
much in the book which will stimulate them.
