Through detailed ethnographic investigations, Megan Warin looks at the heart of what it means to live with anorexia on a daily basis. Participants describe difficulties with social relatedness, not being at home in their body, and feeling disgusting and worthless. For them, anorexia becomes a seductive and empowering practice that cleanses bodies of shame and guilt, becomes a friend and support, and allows them to forge new social relations. Unraveling anorexia's complex relationships and contradictions, Warin provides a new theoretical perspective rooted in a socio-cultural context of bodies and gender. Abject Relations departs from conventional psychotherapy approaches and offers a different "logic," one that involves the shifting forces of power, disgust, and desire and provides new ways of thinking that may have implications for future treatment regimes. 410 0$aStudies in medical anthropology. 606 $aAnorexia nervosa 606 $aAnorexia nervosa$xPatients$xPsychology 606 $aAnorexia nervosa$xSocial aspects 610 $asocial science, anthropology, medical, health, medicine, anorexia, anorexia nervosa, eating disorder, food restriction, mental disorder, physical health, mental health, individualism, beauty, self control, autonomy, gender studies, psychotherapy, binge eating, bulimia, bulimia nervosa, body dysmorphia, body dysmorphic disorder, diet, dieting, anxiety, anxiety disorder, depression, substance abuse, food, eating, ethnography, social anthropology, public health, anorexic. 615 0$aAnorexia nervosa. 615 0$aAnorexia nervosa$xPatients$xPsychology. 615 0$aAnorexia nervosa$xSocial aspects. 676 $a362.196/85262 676 $a362.19685262 700 $aWarin$b Megan$01049090 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780831503321 996 $aAbject relations$93694854 997 $aUNINA
