For more than thirty years, Lisa Nasseff has faced the scourge of anorexia. She began dieting at age 9. By age 12 she was using laxatives to purge herself. By age 15 she made more than a dozen trips to the emergency room. At 16 she was committed by court order to a psych ward, where doctors spent months trying to convince her that childhood sexual abuse—which had never occurred—was the cause of her illness. She was ridiculed and shamed for her eating disorder, told by medical professionals that her anorexia was “an act,” a choice she could willfully “control” if only she had the character and strength to do so. Lisa’s nightmare continued into adulthood. After losing both her marriage and career and surviving several suicide attempts, she was severely over-medicated and subjected to phony hypnosis therapy in an eating disorders clinic, where doctors were certain that her anorexia stemmed from participation in a satanic cult. Failed by a negligent insurance “industry” that sanctioned this lunacy and by incompetent treatment “experts” who understood neither the complexities of anorexia nor humane ways to treat it, Lisa was in her mid-thirties before she began to receive clinically-proven therapies that helped manage her illness. Flagrantly Anorexic is both a memoir and a call to action. It recounts in detail Lisa’s struggle with anorexia, but this book is also a demand for a new mental health system that treats eating disorders with effective, evidence-based treatments instead of hucksterism and witchcraft. Every 62 minutes at least one person in the U.S. dies from an eating disorder. Nearly half of all Americans know someone with one. Anorexia is not a “condition” and absolutely not a choice—it’s a mental illness, a crisis that can’t be ignored. After more than thirty years in hell, no longer embarrassed and ashamed by the hand she was dealt, Lisa Nasseff has found her voice. In this unforgettable book, she asks you to join in her cause—that those who suffer from eating disorders receive the treatment and compassion they deserve.

Over the past decade there have been significant shifts both in feminist approaches to the field of eating disorders and in the ways in which gender, bodies, body weight, body management and food are understood, represented and regulated within the dominant cultural milieus of the early twenty-first century. Critical Feminist Approaches to Eating Dis/Orders addresses these developments, exploring how eating disordered subjectivities, experiences and body management practices are theorised and researched within postmodern and post-structuralist feminist frameworks. Bringing together an international range of cutting-edge, contemporary feminist research and theory on eating disorders, this book explores how anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and obesity cannot be adequately understood in terms of individual mental illness and deviation from the norm but are instead continuous with the dominant cultural ideas and values of contemporary cultures. This book will be essential reading for academic, graduate and post-graduate researchers with an interest in eating disorders and critical feminist scholarship, across a range of disciplines including psychology, sociology, cultural studies and gender studies as well as clinicians interested in exploring innovative theory and practice in this field.

We’re obsessed with weight, we dislike our bodies, we worry about the food we eat, we feel guilty, we diet. Too many of us are locked into a war with our own bodies which we’ll never win, and which will never make us happy. The Ministry of Thin takes a controversial, unflinching look at how the modern, international obsession with weight loss, youth, beauty, and perfection has spun out of control. Emma Woolf, author of An Apple a Day, explores how we might all be able to stop hating and start liking our own bodies again. She rallies against the industries of food, health, exercise, beauty, sex, and surgery that seek to create a world that verges on the Orwellian —with the victims of this onslaught trapped and dominated by the societal pressures to conform. And she dares to ask: if losing weight is the answer, what is the question?

Criminology: Explaining Crime and Its Context, Eleventh Edition, offers a broad perspective on criminological theory. It provides students of criminology, criminal justice, and sociology with a thorough exposure to a range of theories about crime, contrasting their logic and assumptions, but also highlighting efforts to integrate and blend these frameworks. In this new edition, the authors have incorporated new directions that have gained traction in the field, while remaining faithful to their criminological heritage. Among the themes in this work are the relativity of crime (its changing definition) with abundant examples, historical roots of criminology and the lessons they have provided, and the strength and challenges of applying the scientific method. This revision offers new chapters on critical theory and on life-course criminology. It is updated throughout to reflect current trends in criminological theory and data. With chapters both updated to reflect recent developments in the field and made easier to digest, this text is essential reading for students of criminology, criminal justice, sociology, and related fields.

Anorexia tends to be studied within health disciplines, such as medicine, psychoanalysis or psychology. When the condition is discussed in relation to society more broadly, focus is commonly restricted to considerations about the demise of the traditional family meal or the all-pervading obsession with thinness and media representations of ‘size zero’ models. But what can sociology tell us about anorexia and how a person becomes anorexic? This book draws on empirical research – both interviews and observation – conducted in and outside medical settings with anorexic girls, medical staff, teachers and other teenagers of the same age. As such, it offers the first fully sociological treatment of the condition, taking the reader closer to the actual experiences of people living with anorexia. It retraces the behaviours, practices and processes that create what is patterned as an anorexic ‘career’ and reveals the cultural and social characteristics of the people who engage on this path taking them from a simple diet to hospitalization or recovery. Richly illustrated with qualitative research, Becoming Anorexic: A Sociological Approach demonstrates that anorexia can be viewed as a very particular work of self-transformation, which requires specific – and social – ‘dispositions’. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and anthropology with an interest in health and illness, the body, social class and gender.

The response they meet from doctors and other helping professionals at this point can be vital in determining the best outcome for them.
