Body Supremacy: Exploring the Torment of Eating Disorders as a Syndrome

Mehr zum Buch

In Body Supremacy, author Robin Phipps Woodall expands on her first book, Thin Supremacy, and her second book, Diet Supremacy, to describe how these narcissistic belief systems combine to form the foundation for an eating disorder to develop. From the perspective of her own amazing recovery, Woodall presents a discussion about eating disorders as a psychological syndrome stemming from mechanisms of survival. A person suffering with an eating disorder is fighting to survive, even though her defense mechanisms are in fact killing her. This book would interest a reader who wants to study and understand a different point of view for why people hold themselves hostage inside the darkness of an eating disorder. If you are studying eating disorder, work with people who suffer inside the darkness of an eating disorder, or are suffering yourself, this most-informative book was written for you.
