Mary Levens takes the reader into the realm of magical thinking and its effect on ideas about eating and the body through a sensitive exploration of the images patients create in art therapy, in which themes of cannibalism constantly recur. Drawing on anthropology, religion and literature as well as psychoanalysis, she discusses the significance of these images and their implications for treatment of patients with eating disorders.<Eating disordersArt therapyEating disorders.Art therapy.616.85/26/06156Levens Mary1957-,1581381MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783610803321Eating disorders and magical control of the body3862876UNINA
