In this edited volume, Jean Petrucelli brings together the work of
talented clinicians and researchers steeped in working with eating
disordered patients for the past 10 to 35 years. Eating disorders
are about body-states and their relational meanings. The split of
mindbody functioning is enacted in many arenas in the eating
disordered patient's life. Concretely, a patient believes that
disciplining or controlling his or her body is a means to psychic
equilibrium and interpersonal effectiveness. The collected papers
in Body-States: Interpersonal and Relational Perspectives on the
Treatment of Eating Disorders elaborates the essential role of
linking symptoms with their emotional and interpersonal meanings in
the context of the therapy relationship so that eating disordered
patients can find their way out and survive the unbearable. The
contributors bridge the gaps in varied protocols for recovery,
illustrating that, at its core, trust in the reliability of the
humanness of the other is necessary for patients to develop,
regain, or have - for the first time - a stable body. They
illustrate how embodied experience must be cultivated in the
patient/therapist relationship as a felt experience so patients can
experience their bodies as their own, to be lived in and enjoyed,
rather than as an 'other' to be managed. In this collection
Petrucelli convincingly demonstrates how interpersonal and
relational treatments address eating problems, body image and
"problems in living." Body States: Interpersonal and Relational
Perspectives on the Treatment of Eating Disorders will be essential
reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, psychologists,
psychiatrists, social workers, and a wide range of professionals
and lay readers who are interested in the topic and treatment of
eating disorders.
