The Golden Cage : The Enigma of Anorexia Nervosa, With a New Foreword by Catherine Steiner-Adair, Ed.D. Paperback / softback
by Hilde Bruch
Paperback / softback
Description
First published more than twenty years ago, with almost 150,000 copies sold, The Golden Cage is still the classic book on anorexia nervosa, for patients, parents, mental health trainees, and senior therapists alike.
Writing in direct, jargon-free style, often quoting her patients’ descriptions of their own experience of illness and recovery, Bruch describes the relentless pursuit of thinness and the search for superiority in self-denial that characterizes anorexia nervosa.
She emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and offers guidance on danger signs.
Little-known when this groundbreaking book was first published, eating disorders have become all too familiar.
Sympathetic and astute, The Golden Cage now speaks to a new generation.
