This book takes a unique approach to the examination of the eating
disorder, anorexia nervosa (and bulimia). White, middle-class,
heterosexual women share their insights into the emergence of their
illnesses through detailed interviews that consider perceptions of
the role of family, the influence of cultural messages regarding
thinness and beauty, the agency these women exert in the use of
weight control to cope with life's stressors, the meaning they
attach to their eating disorders and how these issues together
perpetuate their disease. The book uses a Symbolic Interactionist
framework and a grounded theory approach to examine the narratives
which emerge from these women's stories. Themes of family, culture,
and self arise in their narratives; these form the theoretical
underpinnings for this book, and combine to shape the comprehensive
model of eating disorders that emerges from this study.
Haworth-Hoeppner's book will appeal to researchers and advanced
students of sociology, women's studies, family studies, social
psychology, and gender studies.
