Sinossi
Le vittime dell'anoressia sono, spesso, ragazze adolescenti o preadolescenti, figlie modello di "buona famiglia" che si sentono spesso imprigionate da mete irraggiungibili e aspettative irrealizzabili. Sembrano chiuse in una "gabbia d'oro" di privilegi nella quale sentono di non essere al proprio posto e di non poter sopravvivere. La manifestazione principale della malattia è sconvolgente e comporta perdite di peso catastrofiche; la terapia è difficile e la guarigione incerta; i meccanismi di formazione della patologia non sono ancora definiti. Hilde Bruch, utilizzando numerosi esempi della propria casistica, disegna un quadro delle cause, degli effetti e della possibile terapia che, per essere efficace, necessita di una diagnosi precoce.

This is a hard one for me. It’s a “classic” on anorexia, but because it was written 40+ years ago, it felt so outdated that I had a hard time with it. It focused solely on white, middle-upper and upper class, adolescent girls. The focus for treatment was involvement of parents and the “cause” was fo Leggi tutto
If you want to blame your mother for your eating disorder, read unscientific, outdated theories about eating disorders, then this is the book for you. If you want information backed up by science that is up to date in 2013 this will not give you that. The damage done by these theories about mothers
It's always tricky to read non-fiction that is dated. But I wanted to give it a go while keeping the caveats in mind, as I wanted to explore this topic that is less known to me, and where better than with a seemingly reprinted classic from the 70s... Now having read it, I think this book still can ho Leggi tutto
Didn't love this book ... BUT it is an absolute must read for anyone who is affected with an eating disorder--be it a recovering survivor of the disease, a parent with a child who has a disorder ... or anyone in between. It sheds light on the horrors--although I do think it focuses more on anorexia
The book was published 1978 and because of that, the research is not entirely up to date. However, the book provides great explanations to some of the thoughts, causes, and motivation of anorexia. I would recommend this book to counselors, people who have contact with those who struggle with eating
