Description

Explore a unique perspective on eating disorders with Becoming Anorexic: A sociological study. While anorexia is often studied through the lens of medicine, psychoanalysis, or psychology, this Routledge publication shifts the focus toward a sociological understanding of the condition. Instead of limiting the conversation to the demise of traditional family meals or media representations of thinness, this book examines how a person actually becomes anorexic within a broader societal context. It provides a deep look into the social factors that shape this experience. Drawing on empirical research, the text utilizes both interviews and direct observation. These studies were conducted both inside and outside of medical settings with anorexic girls, offering a grounded view of their lived realities. This book is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in the social dimensions of health and human behavior.
