The Spirituality of Anorexia (eBook, PDF)

A Goddess Feminist Thealogy

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book develops a spirituality of anorexia by suggesting that these eating disorders are physical symptoms of the general repression of feminine nature in our culture. Furthermore, it puts forward Goddess feminism as a framework for a healing therapeutic model to address anorexia and more broadly, the "slender ideal" touted by society.
