The first few chapters were almost intolerably boring and I only kept going out of curiosity. It really wasn't worth my time. ( ) I think this book would be more properly titled as, The Damage a Horrible Therapist Can Do. The book was interesting, and mostly light-hearted. There were a few times it dragged, but it was a very quick read. One can't help feeling frustrated through most of the book by Betsy's absolutely worthless therapist and her inability to give him the heave-ho. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
In FOOD AND LOATHING a bright, chubby girl believes that thinness is next to godliness, and so attends one of the first meetings of Overeaters Anonymous in 1975. Her twenties are marked by yo-yo dieting, depressive episodes and a sadistic shrink. Then, just as her dream of being a writer is within reach, entering Columbia's prestigious MFA program, she spirals into a suicidal depression and lands for a six-month stay at New York State Psychiatric Institute. There a young resident helps her take her first steps towards selfhood, unravelling the self-loathing of an eating disorder coupled with a paralysing mood disorder. He also helps her confront a tragic family secret whose silence had enveloped an otherwise average Jewish middle-class family. FOOD AND LOATHING is a book about how people use food to narcotise, to love, and to escape. It's about therapy - the good, the bad, and the down right destructive - and about every woman who spends too much of her life thinking about her weight, and how she can forgive herself for living -- and even learn to love.
