This important book immediately draws the reader into the world of those struggling with anorexia/bulimia (a/b), whose stories, poems, and first-person accounts expose the ‘voice’ of these deadly problems. The authors’ decade-and-a-half collaboration with ‘insiders’ has yielded fresh answers to these life and death questions:
How does a/b seduce and terrorize girls and women?
Why is a/b successful in encouraging girls and women to unwittingly embrace their would-be murderer?
How can such a murderer be exposed and thwarted?
Biting the Hand that Starves You
details a unique way of thinking and speaking about anorexia/bulimia. By having conversations with insiders in which the problem is viewed as an external influence rather than a part of the person, these therapists show how to bring the tactics of a/b into the open, expose its deceptions, break its spell, and encourage defiance of its tyrannical rule.

Over the past decade there have been significant shifts both in feminist approaches to the field of eating disorders and in the ways in which gender, bodies, body-weight, body-management and food are understood, represented and regulated within the dominant cultural milieus of the early twenty-first century. "Critical Feminist Approaches To Eating Dis/Orders" addresses these developments, exploring how eating disordered subjectivities, experiences and body-management practices are theorised and researched within postmodern and post-structuralist feminist frameworks. Bringing together an international range of cutting-edge, contemporary feminist research and theory on eating disorders, this book explores how anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and obesity cannot be adequately understood in terms of individual mental illness and deviation from the norm but are instead continuous with the dominant cultural ideas and values of contemporary ...
