What can we learn about autonomy by thinking about the challenges of severe eating disorders? And what can we learn about eating disorders by thinking through the lens of autonomy? These are the questions that Jacopo Condò takes up in this penetrating book. Condò draws on a broad array of research materials ranging from biomedical research to case law to feminism and disability studies, with a particular focus on relational and dialogical approaches to autonomy. His book manages to be at once philosophically sophisticated and highly relevant to the practice of those professionals who struggle with the sometimes excruciating clinical, ethical, legal dilemmas that arise in attempts to support this challenging and vulnerable patient group. * Wayne Martin, University of Essex, UK *
