Clinical psychologist Margo Maine has been successfully helping adult women overcome eating disorders and body image problems for over twenty years. In The Body Myth, she explains the toll these problems can take on women's lives and provides healing insights and proven techniques for reclaiming readers lives from the debilitating belief that a woman's self-worth and her worth to others are derived from how she looks, how much she weighs, and what she eats the Body Myth. Using poignant real-life stories, Dr. Maine explores the complex emotional, social, and cultural forces that perpetuate the Body Myth. A unique and invaluable source of information and inspiration, this breakthrough guide equips readers with the knowledge and tools to escape the clutches of the Body Myth and live a more balanced, fulfilling life.
The contributions contained in the second volume of the two-volume set Body, Language and Mind?‚A introduce and elaborate upon the concept of sociocultural situatedness, understood broadly as the way in which minds and cognitive processes are shaped, both individually and collectively, by their interaction with socioculturally contextualized structures and practices; and, furthermore, how these structures interact, contextually, with language and can become embodied in it.
The first volume of the two-volume set Body, Language and Mind focuses on the concept of embodiment, understood in most general terms as 'the bodily basis of phenomena such as meaning, mind, cognition and language'. The volume offers a representative, multi- and interdisciplinary state-of-the-art collection of papers on embodiment and brings together a large variety of different perspectives, from cognitive linguistics, cognitive science, philosophy, psychology, semiotics and artificial intelligence.
