This book takes a novel approach to the study of male eating
disorders - an area that is often dominated by clinical discourses.
The study of eating disorders in men has purportedly suffered from
a lack of dedicated attention to personal and socio-cultural
aspects. Delderfield tackles this deficiency by spotlighting a set
of personal accounts written by a group of men who have experiences
of disordered eating. The text presents critical interpretations
that aim to situate these experiences in the social and cultural
context in which these disorders occur. This discursive work is
underpinned by an eclectic scholarly engagement with social
psychology and sociology literature around masculinities,
embodiment and fatness, belonging, punishment, stigma, and control;
leading to understandings about relationships with food, body and
self. This is undertaken with a reflexive element, as the personal
intersects with the professional. This text will appeal to
students, scholars and clinicians in social sciences, humanities,
and healthcare studies, including public health.
