Psychoanalytic Treatment of Eating Disorders: When Words Fail and
Bodies Speak offers a compilation of some of the most innovative
thinking on psychoanalytic approaches to the treatment of eating
disorders available today. In its recognition of the multiple
meanings of food, weight, and body shape, psychoanalytic thinking
is uniquely positioned to illuminate the complexities of these
often life-threatening conditions. And while clinicians regularly
draw on psychoanalytic ideas in the treatment of eating disorders,
many of the unique insights psychoanalysis provides have been
neglected in the contemporary literature. This volume brings
together some of the most respected clinicians in the field and
speaks to the psychoanalytic conceptualization and treatment of
eating disorders as well as contemporary issues, including social
media, pro-anorexia forums, and larger cultural issues such as
advertising, fashion, and even agribusiness. Drawing on new
theoretical developments, several chapters propose novel models of
treatment, whereas others delve into the complex convergence of
culture and psychology in this patient population. Psychoanalytic
Treatment of Eating Disorders will be of interest to
allpsychoanalysts and psychotherapists working with this complex
and multi-faceted phenomenon.
Because anorexia nervosa has historically been viewed as a disorder
that impacts women and girls, there has been little focus on the
conceptualization and treatment of males suffering from this
complex disorder. Understanding Anorexia Nervosa in Males provides
a structure for understanding the male side of the equation
combined with practical resources to guide clinical intervention.
Presented using an integrative framework that draws on recent
research and organizes information from multiple domains into a
unified understanding of the interconnected issues at hand, this
informative new text provides a comprehensive approach to
understanding and treating a widely unrecognized population.
