Reviews

Includes refreshing and original discussion of the impact of media discourses on sufferers - an often neglected perspective. --Prof. Helen Kelly-Holmes, University of Limerick This wide-ranging collection shows us, in detailed analyses, how the ways we speak and write construct our relation to food and to each other to make what is pathological about eating normalised and turn many understandable responses into forms of pathology. Here are models for critical research, and new openings for empirical and conceptual questioning of what 'disorder' involves for those who diagnose it and for those who suffer it. --Ian Parker, critical psychologist and Honorary Professor of Education, University of Manchester Eating Disorders in Public Discourse...is an important contribution to the issue of eating disorders that centers linguistic and qualitative approaches. This edited volume features excellent contributions from twenty five scholars, who address eating disorders in both traditional media and participatory media. This intervention is timely because as the editor argues in the book's introduction: the coronavirus pandemic and its lockdown measures have resulted in a sharp and unprecedented surge in children and adolescents being referred for treatment to ED [eating disorder] services. --Robert K. Beshara, Assistant Professor and Chair of Arts & Human Sciences, Northern New Mexico College
