De-medicalizing anorexia
Interviews with recovered anorexics in Tennessee, U. S. A., and Toronto, Canada, refute popular stereotypes and question anorexia's medicalization. Instead of adolescent girls literally dying for looks, putting anorexics in their life-world and life-course context shows youthful ascetics-male as well as female-obsessing over not beauty but self-control, a cardinal contemporary virtue.
