Book Synopsis From Fasting Saints to Anorexic Girls by : Walter Vandereycken
Book excerpt: Down the centuries self-starvation has taken many morbid guises. This story culminates in the 19th century labelling of anorexia nervosa, a condition which has since attracted a host of theories and explanations in the course of which a medical curiosity has been transformed into a modern disease.
