MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
This book examines the so-called War on Obesity as an example of a cultural complex, how that complex shapes the way fat is treated in psychotherapy, including the classical Jungian approach to fat, as written by Marion Woodman. It looks at the experience of being fat as an ongoing trauma.
