The Thin Woman: Feminism, Post-Structuralism and the Social Psychology of Anorexia Nervosa Malson Helen
The Thin Woman provides an in-depth discussion of anorexia nervosa from a feminist social psychological standpoint. It will prove useful both to those with an interest in eating disorders and gender, and to those interested in the new developments in feminist post-structuralist theory and discourse analytic research in Medicine, psychiatry and psychology have all presented us with particular ways of understanding eating disorders, yet the notion of 'anorexia' as a medical condition limits our understanding of anorexia and the extent to which we can explore it as a socially, discursively produced problem.Based on original research using historical and contemporary literature on anorexia nervosa, and a series of interviews with women diagnosed as anorexic, The Thin Woman offers new insights into the problem.
