- Description
- Throughout the Western world, people have come to believe that general dissatisfaction can be relieved by some change in their bodies. Here Susie Orbach explains the origins of this condition, and examines its implications. Challenging the Freudian view that bodily disorders originate and progress in the mind, she argues that we should look at self-mutilation, obesity, anorexia, and plastic surgery on their own terms, through a reading of the body itself. Incorporating the latest research from neuropsychology, as well as case studies from her own practice, she traces many of these fixations back to the relationship between mothers and babies, to anxieties that are transferred unconsciously. She reveals how vulnerable our bodies are, how susceptible to every kind of negative stimulus--from a nursing infant sensing a mother's discomfort to a grown man or woman feeling inadequate because of a model on a billboard. .In the past several decades, a globalized media has overwhelmed us with images of an idealized, westernized body, and conditioned us to see any exception to that ideal as a problem. The body has become an object, a site of production and commerce in and of itself. Instead of our bodies making things, we now make our bodies. Orbach reveals the true dimensions of the crisis, and points the way toward healing and acceptance.

- Description
- This volume, synthesizing over 20 years of feminist thinking, presents critiques of mainstream psychological theories and lays the groundwork for the development of a context-based, feminist psychological theory. . .Part I of the volume examines the limitations that underlie traditional views of human nature as well as the consequences of not taking into account the effects of contextual and structural forces upon human development. .The initial chapters utilize feminist analyses of gender, context, and structure to assess the adequacy of the metaphysic in traditional personality theories' assumptions. .Following chapters examine the impact and limits of empiricism as the dominant model of knowledge generation within cognitive-behavioural theories: identify Jung's biases, which are integral to his use of rationalism as an epistemic method: and demonstrate the class and culture biases implicit in personality theories. In essence, the limits and dangers of single-use epistemological approaches are illuminated, and fundamental considerations – 'What is reality and by whom is it defined?' - are posed. . .Part II focuses on traditional views of psychopathology, and provides feminist critiques of its models and conceptualizations. These chapters address current mainstream models of several large categories of psychopathology - depression, schizophrenia, agoraphobia, personality disorders, and trauma - and present feminist revisions for differently understanding these sets of observed behaviours.
