Through detailed ethnographic investigations, Megan Warin looks at the heart of what it means to live with anorexia on a daily basis. Participants describe difficulties with social relatedness, not being at home in their body, and feeling disgusting and worthless. For them, anorexia becomes a seductive and empowering practice that cleanses bodies of shame and guilt, becomes a friend and support, and allows them to forge new social relations.\u003cp\u003eUnraveling anorexia's complex relationships and contradictions, Warin provides a new theoretical perspective rooted in a socio-cultural context of bodies and gender. \u003ci\u003eAbject Relations\u003c\/i\u003e departs from conventional psychotherapy approaches and offers a different \"logic,\" one that involves the shifting forces of power, disgust, and desire and provides new ways of thinking that may have implications for future treatment regimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Megan Warin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813546893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813546896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/08\/2010 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2010","brand":"Megan Warin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48457728000255,"sku":"9780813546896","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3dd3edd7-9c68-49b1-9850-d548dc03935d.jpg?v=1777400682","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/abject-relations-megan-warin-9780813546896","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
