Using attachment theory as a lens for understanding the role of
food in our everyday lives, this book explores relationships with
other people, with ourselves and between client and therapist,
through our connection with food. The aim of this book is twofold:
to examine the nature of attachment through narratives of feeding,
and to enrich psychotherapy practice by encouraging exploration of
clients' food-related memories and associations. Bringing together
contributions from an experienced group of psychotherapists, the
chapters examine how our connections with food shape our patterns
of attachment and defence, how this influences appetite,
self-feeding (or self-starving) and how we may then feed others.
They consider a spectrum from a "secure attachment" to food through
to avoidant, preoccupied and disorganised, including discussion of
eating disorders. Enriched throughout with diverse clinical case
studies, this edited collection illuminates how relationships to
food can be a rich source of insight and understanding for
psychotherapists, psychoanalysts and other counselling therapists
working today.
