Readers
This book's 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
men 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.
