| Publisher Description: "One of the best mini theses that had pleasure to mark.Exceptionally high standard, would say very close to doctoral level.Simply an excellent piece of research, extremely well written & clearly presented."Voiceless, in a starving world", captures the essence of the anorexic & bulimic.The inclusion of a poem by participant is poignant, beautiful, opens up & reflects the stories of anguish of these distressed women.It investigates whether there is a difference in symbolic meanings between both's troubled relationship with food.Using TAT is novel in order to tap into the inner & unconscious world.The use of additional data collection, an interview, is also highly commendable as adds more weight to final analysis.It's obvious that there has been deep longing to understand the OR of these conflicted women, student has gone to great lengths to not only be ethical, but remains faithful to the experience of the participants.So often one reads about themes & data that lack richness & deep respect for the experience.In this case, the stories & convincing & intense dialogue with stories in the context of very comprehensive object relations literature are very well done!" |
