Reviews

A probing and intelligent explanation of dieting and weight obsession that points to religiosity, morality, and absolution from guilt as the primary agents motivating women's irrational quest for thinness. Choice through and creative book ... Lewica engages critically with a number of different disciplines, and raises questions which reflect concerns in the wider field of mental health and social justice, in America, the UK and Australia ... a rich resource for a wide range of interested groups, not only those concerned with eating disorders ... a complex, challenging and rewarding book.
