Book Reviews of Gaining: The Truth About Life After Eating Disorders
Book Review: Self-Help v. Self-Assessment v. Clouded Judgment
Summary: 2 Stars
While many readers appear to have found this work enlightening, I am a little concerned that a person with self-interest is exploring this topic --- which sorely needs exploration --- in a quasi-scientific, quasi-narrative form, half-science, half-social observation. This is where relatively small bits of data can get expanded into "truth." It is also of concern that the book is in some measures self-serving. The writer is at pains to illustrate her "progress." What of those who do not self-assess so favorably? Bear in mind that anorexics may be fiercely competitive. While an enjoyable read, I await further discussions of this topic.
