The Dance of Nurture - Negotiating Infant Feeding (Hardcover): Penny Van Esterik, Richard A. O'Connor The Dance of Nurture - Negotiating Infant Feeding (Hardcover)
Penny Van Esterik, Richard A. O'Connor
R3,077 Discovery Miles 30 770 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Breastfeeding and child feeding at the center of nurturing practices, yet the work of nurture has escaped the scrutiny of medical and social scientists. Anthropology offers a powerful biocultural approach that examines how custom and culture interact to support nurturing practices. Our framework shows how the unique constitutions of mothers and infants regulate each other. The Dance of Nurture integrates ethnography, biology and the political economy of infant feeding into a holistic framework guided by the metaphor of dance. It includes a critique of efforts to improve infant feeding practices globally by UN agencies and advocacy groups concerned with solving global nutrition and health problems.

From Virtue to Vice - Negotiating Anorexia (Hardcover): Richard A. O'Connor, Penny Van Esterik From Virtue to Vice - Negotiating Anorexia (Hardcover)

The recovered possess the key to overcoming anorexia. Although individual sufferers do not know how the affliction takes hold, piecing their stories together reveals two accidental afflictions. One is that activity disorders-dieting, exercising, healthy eating-start as virtuous practices, but become addictive obsessions. The other affliction is a developmental disorder, which also starts with the virtuous-those eager for challenge and change. But these overachievers who seek self-improvement get a distorted life instead. Knowing anorexia from inside, the recovered offer two watchwords on helping those who suffer. One is "negotiate," to encourage compromise, which can aid recovery where coercion fails. The other is "balance," for the ill to pursue mind-with-body activities to defuse mind-over-body battles.
