Becoming Anorexic
Author: Muriel DarmonPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1317175840
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
Anorexia tends to be studied within health disciplines, such as medicine, psychoanalysis or psychology. When the condition is discussed in relation to society more broadly, focus is commonly restricted to considerations about the demise of the traditional family meal or the all-pervading obsession with thinness and media representations of ‘size zero’ models. But what can sociology tell us about anorexia and how a person becomes anorexic? This book draws on empirical research – both interviews and observation – conducted in and outside medical settings with anorexic girls, medical staff, teachers and other teenagers of the same age. As such, it offers the first fully sociological treatment of the condition, taking the reader closer to the actual experiences of people living with anorexia. It retraces the behaviours, practices and processes that create what is patterned as an anorexic ‘career’ and reveals the cultural and social characteristics of the people who engage on this path taking them from a simple diet to hospitalization or recovery. Richly illustrated with qualitative research, Becoming Anorexic: A Sociological Approach demonstrates that anorexia can be viewed as a very particular work of self-transformation, which requires specific – and social – ‘dispositions’. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and anthropology with an interest in health and illness, the body, social class and gender.

L’anorexie et la boulimie sont des phénomènes sociaux, mais aussi des expériences intimes uniques pour chacune de celles qui en souffrent. Par l’examen de discours scientifiques qui visent à comprendre le caractère social de ces troubles alimentaires, l’auteure présente les diverses conceptions de l’individu et de son rapport à la société qui organisent la manière dont on comprend l’anorexie et la boulimie. Elle explore la relation entre le corps et la santé mentale, ainsi que la place des émotions et des sensations dans la société.

Handbook of the Sociology of Mental Health
Author: Carol S. AneshenselPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387362231
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 627
Book Description
This handbook describes ways in which society shapes the mental health of its members, and shapes the lives of those who have been identified as mentally ill. The text explores the social conditions that lead to behaviors defined as mental illness, and the ways in which the concept of mental illness is socially constructed around those behaviors. The book also reviews research that examines socially conditioned responses to mental illness on the part of individuals and institutions, and ways in which these responses affect persons with mental illness. It evaluates where the field has been, identifies its current location and plots a course for the future.
