Abstract

"Drawing on empirical research, clinical case material and vivid examples from modern culture, The Psychology of Overeating demonstrates that overeating must be understood as part of the wider cultural problem of consumption and materialism. Highlighting modern society's pathological need to consume, Kima Cargill explores how our limitless consumer culture offers an endless array of delicious food as well as easy money whilst obscuring the long-term effects of overconsumption. The book investigates how developments in food science, branding and marketing have transformed Western diets and how the food industry employs psychology to trick us into eating more and more ? and why we let them. Drawing striking parallels between 'Big Food' and 'Big Pharma', Cargill shows how both industries use similar tactics to manufacture desire, resist regulation and convince us that the solution to overconsumption is further consumption. Real-life examples illustrate how loneliness, depression and lack of purpose help to drive consumption, and how this is attributed to individual failure rather than wider culture. The first book to introduce a clinical and existential psychology perspective into the field of food studies, Cargill's interdisciplinary approach bridges the gulf between theory and practice. Key reading for students and researchers in food studies, psychology, health and nutrition and anyone wishing to learn more about the relationship between food and consumption."--

Abstract

L’anorexie et la boulimie, troubles alimentaires touchant essentiellement les adolescents, surtout les filles, expriment une souffrance qui dépasse le cadre strict de l’alimentation et interrogent la sphère psychologique et relationnelle. Fruit de plusieurs années d’études, d’enquêtes et d’interventions cliniques, cet ouvrage propose une analyse rigoureuse des phénomènes complexes à l’origine de l’anorexie et de la boulimie. Il tente d’en expliquer les mécanismes et cherche à en identifier les facteurs déclenchants, hétérogènes et étroitement imbriqués. Pour ce faire, y sont tour à tour étudiées chacune des trois composantes incontournables de l’apparition des troubles alimentaires : les influences socio-culturelles, les aspects psychologiques individuels, les dynamiques familiales. Un cas clinique, l’histoire d’une fille anorexique et de sa famille à travers les épreuves, les problèmes et les principales étapes du traitement, illustre ensuite le travail thérapeutique et en présente les apports. L’ouvrage se clôture par une analyse des différentes modalités d’intervention et pistes de traitement, mettant en évidence toute l’importance de la mise en oeuvre de stratégies thérapeutiques intégrées et multidisciplinaires. Anorexie et boulimie, le temps suspendu intéressera les intervenants des domaines médicaux, psychologiques et psychothérapeutiques ainsi que tous les éducateurs, pédagogues, assistants sociaux, enseignants ou parents désirant mieux comprendre, à partir de données actuelles et approfondies, le sens d'une souffrance qui frappe de plus en plus souvent les jeunes générations.

Abstract

Can certain foods hijack the brain in ways similar to drugs and alcohol, and is this effect sufficiently strong to contribute to major diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, and hence constitute a public health menace? Terms like ""chocoholic"" and ""food addict"" are part of popular lore, some popular diet books discuss the concept of addiction, and there are food addiction programs with names like Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous. Clinicians who work with patients often hear the language of addiction when individuals speak of irresistible cravings, withdrawal symptoms when

Abstract

In The Management of Eating Disorders and Obesity, David J. Goldstein and a panel of highly respected clinicians and researchers provide physicians and other health care professionals who want to improve their diagnostic and treatment successes with a concise, practical, state-of-the-art review of eating disorders, obesity, and their management. Sharing their personal experiences in providing treatment, the expert authors comprehensively examine obesity and eating disorders-bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, and binge eating. They review the history, diagnosis, prevalence, psychiatric comorbidity, and medical complications of each of these diseases, along with the scientific evidence for various pharmacologic therapies. Extensive coverage is given to the treatment of obesity, including the role of exercise, very-low-calorie diets, behavioral strategies, combination therapies, and surgical techniques. The authors also share their practical experience to help improve treatment outcomes-both in the private office and in a multidisciplinary team setting-and fully describe methods for establishing an effective patient-comfortable setting, for ascertaining the time when a patient is ready to lose weight, and for maximizing the use of drug treatment. Patient-centered and timely, The Management of Eating Disorders and Obesity constitutes an essential gold-standard resource for health-care providers interested in improving the management of affected patients. Its state-of-the-art reviews and detailed treatment modalities provide welcome assistance to those physicians seeking maximal impact on their patients' health.
