Although individual sufferers do not know how the affliction takes hold, piecing their stories together reveals two accidental afflictions. One is that activity disorders—dieting, exercising, healthy eating—start as virtuous practices, but become addictive obsessions. The other affliction is a developmental disorder, which also starts with the virtuous—those eager for challenge and change. But these overachievers who seek self-improvement get a distorted life instead. Knowing anorexia from inside, the recovered offer two watchwords on helping those who suffer. One is \"negotiate,\" to encourage compromise, which can aid recovery where coercion fails. The other is \"balance,\" for the ill to pursue mind-with-body activities to defuse mind-over-body battles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e\"I found this to be a top-notch scholarly work written in a way that will be accessible for diverse audiences including students, professional clinicians, academics, and the interested lay public.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e  ·  Janet Dixon Keller\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Illinois\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction: \u003c\/strong\u003eNegotiating Anorexia\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART I: THE DISEASE: AN ACTIVITY DISORDER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Person: Working with Interviews\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2. \u003c\/strong\u003eMedicine: Reworking Cartesian Knowledge\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Stories: Respecting Diversity\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4. \u003c\/strong\u003eBioculturalism: Seeing Holistically and Historically\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/strong\u003eBodily Bent: The Individual’s Constitution\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Activity: How Ascetic Doing Takes Over\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Core: Elementary Anorexia\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART II: THE LIFECYCLE: A DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8. \u003c\/strong\u003eYouth: How Adolescence Invites Anorexia\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9. \u003c\/strong\u003eComing of Age: Meeting an Imagined Real World\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART III: MODERN TRADITIONS: CULTURAL PATHS INTO ANOREXIA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10. \u003c\/strong\u003eVirtuous Eating: A Modern Morality\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 11. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Conflicted Body: Sympathy and Control as Competing Virtues\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 12. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Attractive Person: A Modern Appearance Ethic\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART IV: RECOVERY: FINDING BALANCE \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 13. \u003c\/strong\u003eGetting Out: Undoing Anorexia\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 14. \u003c\/strong\u003eStaying Out: Redoing Life\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tReferences\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042217394519,"sku":"9781782384557","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781782384557.jpg?v=1750953484","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/from-virtue-to-vice-negotiating-anorexia-9781782384557","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
