Summary: "The first comprehensive resource on anorexia and women's sexuality in the world, this book presents a model for understanding sexuality as complex with interconnected factors, and how anorexia interacts with the varied components of one's sexuality. Challenging the limiting views of sexuality that research on women with anorexia and sex has yielded, Dr. Fabello centers real women's narratives to explore the various ways in which this population wrestles with sexual health, violence, intimacy, identity, and more. Included is unprecedented research on touch and human development (touch deprivation and negative body image), body image (positive body image and positive sexual esteem), body perception (impairment in tactile and proprioceptive perception), skin hunger (desire for more touch), and sensual non-desire (eating disorder behaviors can serve as expressions of sensuality). Written in an honest voice, Appetite bridges the gap between academia and practicality, using grounded language that appeals to professionals and survivors alike"-- Provided by publisher.
