In the present study, I outline how four social workers, with experience in working with women who self-starve, commonly known as anorexia nervosa, conceptualise this phenomenon. I conducted single, in-depth interviews with each worker and feminist discourse analysis was chosen as the method of text interpretation. Alternative (non-psychiatric) ways of understanding women's self-starvation were explicitly privileged. Hence, the alternative discourses of feminist and poststructural theories were used to design the research and analyse the data. The literature review outlines the historical ' discovery ' of ' anorexia nervosa ' as a discrete illness category. Contemporary and dominant ' pathological ' perspectives and marginalised ' cultural ' perspectives are presented. Three dominant themes emerged from the interviews. They were ' control and perfection ', ' femininity ' and ' self-destruction/self-preservation '. These themes are presented, as are their critical implications for social work. |
