![]() ![]() If this book leads someone into recovery I would not be one to scoff at that. Years, that is the main point of her book and I am saddened and angry that professionals today would regard it with such esteem. While I do have to remember that the book was written in 1996 and that views on gender have changed significantly in the past twenty Her views completely disregard men, trans and gender queer/non-comforming people who have eating disorders. (p.15)" She consistently genders human traits and perpetuates the ideology that masculinity is the strong, assertive side where femininity is the weak and gentle side. I am offended at her view that "recovery from disordered eating calls for a deliberate, conscious attempt to reclaim our feminine side so we can bring our masculine side back to balance. And by ridiculous I actually mean horrifying that a clinical psychologist who co-founded an eating disorder center can actually believe in the stuff she is spewing. This is one of the most ridiculous books on eating disorders I have ever read. ![]()
