Produktbeschreibung

The Objectification Spectrum draws upon timeless wisdom to propose a new model of objectification as a spectrum of misapprehension running from mild to extreme manifestations. Utilizing compelling historical examples, the author explores dispositional and situational factors contributing to the problem, and also presents objectification's antidote--the enlightenment spectrum.
