Sinossi
Eating disorders: do they mark cultural transition?
Eating disorders that were once viewed as exclusive to specific class and ethnic boundaries in western culture are now spreading worldwide. This issue is fully discussed in this groundbreaking volume.
Eating Disorders and Cultures in Transition is written by an international group of authors to address the recent emergence of eating disorders in various areas of the world including countries in South America, Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. It offers an in-depth analysis of the existing socio-cultural model arguing for the need to extend both our theoretical understanding and clinical work to account properly for this global phenomenon. Eating disorders are seen as reflecting sweeping changes in the social and political status of women in the majority of societies that are now undergoing rapid cultural transition.
This multidisciplinary, multinational volume reflects wide-ranging, intellectually stimulating and frequently provocative viewpoints. It promises to be of great interest to medical and mental health professionals, public policy experts and all those watching for the processes of cultural transformation and their impact on mental health.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The concept of eating disorder in Western cultures is a familiar one, for which there is considerable evidence. Eating disorders were once viewed as highly culturally-specific illness, limited to the United States and Western Europe and within specific class and ethnic boundaries. However, there is now a growing awareness that this preoccupation with slimness is spreading to non-western cultures. 'Eating Disorders and Cultures in Transition' analyzes the existing sociocultural model of eating disorder and existing research and clinical work on cross cultural factors in eating pathology in depth. It addresses the emergence of eating disorders in various areas of the world over the last decade including countries in South America, Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe. Well-known international authors examine the problem in a variety of cultural contexts, arguing that we need to extend both our theoretical understanding of eating disorders and clinical work to account properly for eating disorderson a worldwide scale. This book will be of great interest not only to medical and mental health professionals but also to those interested in processes of cultural transformation and their impact on psychiatric problems.
