Produktbeschreibung
The scarcity of research, found within the dominant
discourse, the connection between adult women who
struggle with obesity and post traumatic stress due
to childhood sexual abuse has not been suitably
addressed.
This qualitative and phenomenological study explores,
through in-depth interviews with three females, their
survivorship of CSA and ongoing management of adult
obesity. Findings indicate a positive relationship
between the two circumstances. An argument has been
made on behalf of Allie, Grace and Cloe, that the
impetus for their behaviour is derived not from the
conventional belief they need to protect themselves
from further harm but from a core belief of
unworthiness as beings; hence, the very act of
internalizing this imposed, shameful identity results
in, first, the original experience of childhood
sexual abuse becoming more entrenched in mind and
body memory, and second, this necessitates the
continuation of obsessive eating to appease the
resultant dis-ease within self.
Women, teachers, counselors and those in the medical
field can greatly increase their knowledge, by
considering the anecdotal accounts of the three brave
individuals cited in this book.
