Body Work by Sylvia K Blood
Reassessing Experimental Psychology from a critical perspective, Sylvia Blood demonstrates how its research into Body Image can be misused and prone to misuse.'Effectively illustrates how the assumptions we make about body image from an individualistic Western research perspective may not actually be helpful to women with body-image problemsMoreover, [Blood] offers an alternative perspective that does justice to the complexity of women's feelings about their bodies. ... I plan on using this text as the basis for a panel discussion in a university setting on women's body image, and I anticipate it will generate interesting intellectual dialogue across several disciplines and perspectives.' - Christy Barongan, in PsycCRITIQUES, March 2006.
'Ms. Blood's mission is to re-evaluate the simple mind-body dualism that underpins most experimental psychology and to place women's perceptions of their bodies in a multidimensional societal experience. 5/5 - Excellent.' - Stella Blackhouse, in Nursing Standard, December 2005.
Sylvia Blood is a Clinical Psychologist who has been in private practice for over fifteen years. She has a particular interest in working with women who experience distress with their bodies and eating.
