The Body Betrayed: Women, Eating Disorders, and Treatment introduces readers to the continuum of eating pathologies, then investigates concerns of comorbidity, the influence of family relationships, and the impact of societal factors as they relate to eating disorders. The author also addresses concerns of sexuality, the effects of physical and sexual abuse, and chemical dependency, before turning to the medical complications and biology of eating disorders and the physical costs and psychological risks of obesity. The book closes by discussing some of the feelings and patterns for which eating disorders frequently seem to provide a way of coping, and often-encountered challenges during and benefits of treatment. This volume includes a multitude of thoroughly disguised case histories to bring clinical concepts alive, and utilizes literary quotes, personal and historical anecdotes, and metaphors to achieve, at times, a refreshingly first-hand and accessible tone. It is an invaluable resource for clinicians treating patients with eating disorders, as well as for lay audiences who have had their own lives, or those of people close to them, impacted by eating disorders.

This is a compilation of her writings near the end of her life. Through her insight and advice, Neha left an important legacy for the ones she left behind. In this memoir, the author shares how she was able to enjoy her life despite knowing her end. Much of Nehas memoir is directed to her daughter. She describes cherished memories with her new baby girl and offers her insight into all the challenges of growing up.

The Betrayal of the Body is Alexander Lowen's pioneering study of the mind-body split. Lowen describes the way people deny the reality, needs, and feelings of their bodies. This denial leads to the development of the division between mind and body, creating an over-charged ego obsessed with thinking at the expense of feeling and being. This book illustrates the energetic factors behind the split, the factors that produce it, and the proven therapeutic techniques that are available to treat it. Lowen further explores the mind-body duality in the individual and its parallel duality and dysfunction in society between culture and nature, and between thinking and feeling.

Race and privilege are issues that cry out for new kinds of attention and healing in American society. More specifically, we are being called to surface the dynamics of whiteness especially in contexts where whites have had the most power in America. The church is one of those contexts--particularly churches that have traditionally been seen as the stalwarts of the American religious landscape: mainline Protestant churches. Theologians and Presbyterian ministers Mary McClintock Fulkerson and Marcia Mount Shoop invite us to acknowledge and address the wounds of race and privilege that continue to harm and diminish the life of the church. Using Eucharist as a template for both the church's blindness and for Christ's redemptive capacity, this book invites faith communities, especially white-dominant churches, into new ways of re-membering what it means to be the body of Christ. In a still racialized society, can the body of Christ truly acknowledge and dress the wounds of race and privilege? Re-membering Christ's broken and betrayed body may be just the healing path we need. .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

One of the world's top experts on betrayal looks at why we often can't see it right in front of our faces If the cover-up is worse than the crime, blindness to betrayal can be worse than the betrayal itself. Whether the betrayer is an unfaithful spouse, an abusive authority figure, an unfair boss, or a corrupt institution, we often refuse to see the truth order to protect ourselves. This book explores the fascinating phenomenon of how and why we ignore or deny betrayal, and what we can gain by transforming "betrayal blindness" into insight. Explains the psychological phenomenon of "betrayal blindness", in which we implicitly choose unawareness in order to avoid the risk of seeing treachery or injustice Based on the authors' substantial original research and clinical experience carried out over the last decade as well as their own story of confronting betrayal Filled with fascinating case studies involving unfaithful spouses, abusive authority figures and corrupt institutions, to name a few In a remarkable collaboration of science and clinical perspectives, Jennifer Freyd, one of the world's top experts on betrayal and child abuse, teams up with Pamela Birrell, a psychotherapist and educator with 25 years of experience.
