Description

Susie Orbach's seminal 1986 examination of anorexia nervosa reveals how the condition operates as both a physical and psychological struggle rooted in control, denial, and desire. Through her groundbreaking analysis, Orbach explores the anorectic's battle against hunger and emotion, demonstrating how the pursuit of thinness becomes a metaphor for mastering one's inner world. This Routledge-published classic remains essential reading for understanding eating disorders as manifestations of deeper emotional conflicts and societal pressures affecting women. The text bridges clinical insight with cultural commentary, offering readers a profound perspective on the psychological mechanisms driving disordered eating behaviour and the complex relationship between body autonomy and emotional suppression.
