Size Zero and Beyond: A Personal Study of Anorexia Nervosa de Jacqueline M. Kemp

Size Zero and Beyond: A Personal Study of Anorexia Nervosa

Autor Jacqueline M. Kemp
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 dec 2012
This book provides a fascinating, detailed account of the family background and social context in which the writer's eating disorder developed and manifested. However, this book covers much more than an account of the sufferer's lengthy struggle with anorexia nervosa and its many effects. The book is about the author's lifelong work to recover, and to understand the illness from a psychological and spiritual perspective. It also includes broader discussion of related social and ecological matters.

Notă biografică

Jacqueline Kemp was born in 1949 in Surrey, England, where she lived with her family until she was 17 years old. Then she left home to go to Reading University, where she studied psychology and gained a BSc Honours degree. After a brief return to her parents' home, she went back to Reading where she lived for four years. She joined an ecumenical religious community in 1974 and lived the community lifestyle for nine years. Most of this time was spent on an island off the west coast of Scotland, where the community occupied diocesan premises. In 1983, Jacqueline left the community and went to live in Edinburgh, where she remained until 2004. After the death of both her parents, she moved to Dunfermline, where she has made her home. Jacqueline developed anorexia nervosa at the age of 13. She continues to work towards complete recovery. In her adult life she has also studied music, and has been an organist and piano teacher. In addition, she has studied and practised a number of forms of spiritual healing.

Recenzii

Ruth White: Transpersonal psychologist, spiritual teacher and guide. Soren Kiirkegaard, the philosopher said: 'Life must be lived forward but it can only be understood backwards.' Socrates said: 'The unexamined life is not worth living.' Jacqueline kept going forward with her life, despite the exigencies of her condition, and in this book she looks back on it all in order to understand it. She examines it in order to bring meaning to it. Jacqueline is a gifted person: a healer, musician, a keen observer of life, and committed to spiritual growth and a love of all that constitutes the essence of earth. The book is completely self-revealing, and because of that I believe that it will be of great help to others. Kenneth Clark MA, DCP, Member of BMA This is a life story from which professionals could well gain insights. People interested in unusual life struggles and life experiences will find this book engaging. Those with eating disorders may well find it particularly absorbing.
