Readers
This book is a good choice for the reader who enjoys stories about the
rewards of love in difficult relationships. Its short segments make it an
easy book to read straight through or a bit at a time. A must-read for
anyone who identifies with the physical and emotional challenges of
weight, self-image, and eating behaviors, My Other Body will also appeal
to the reader who likes vivid, "you-are-there" storytelling and medical
settings.
Classrooms
My Other Body is an excellent classroom choice for psychology, social
work, nutrition, medical humanities, and nursing students. Because it is
not prescriptive on the issues of weight and eating disorders, it serves
as an effective case study to spark classroom discussions. (Interested in
ordering for your classroom? See the volume discounts. For orders
through a campus bookstore, see instead Book Trade Orders.)
Book Groups
Does your book club enjoy stories about strong, intelligent women and
the dynamics of families and friendships? My Other Body is authentic
without vulgarity and is a readable length for your monthly book club
meeting. It's a great choice for clubs that enjoy lively discussion and
books that help you share and learn experiences from each others' lives.
Medical Professionals
For the medical professional who enjoys learning from case studies, My
Other Body is an exceptional and honest account of life with disordered
eating and the patient/family experience in an extended hospitalization.
See the review from Harvard Medical School's Practical Approaches to the
Treatment of Obesity Conference.
