Susie Orbach Reihenfolge der Bücher

Worldwide, increasingly large numbers of people are seeing therapists on a regular basis. In the UK alone, 1.5 million people are in therapy. We go to address past traumas, to break patterns of behaviour, to confront eating disorders or addiction, to talk about relationships, or simply because we want to find out more about what makes us tick. Susie Orbach, the bestselling author of Fat is a Feminist Issue and Bodies, has been a psychotherapist for over forty years. Here, she explores what goes on in the process of therapy - what she thinks, feels and believes about the people who seek her help - through five dramatised case studies. Originally broadcast as a Radio 4 series, here the improvised dialogue is replicated as a playscript, and Orbach offers us the experience of reading along with a session, while revealing what is going on behind each exchange between analyst and client. Insightful and honest about a process often necessarily shrouded in secrecy, In Therapy is an essential read for those curious about, or considering entering, therapy.

»Es ist nicht übertrieben, dass dieses Buch von allen gelesen werden sollte, die ab und zu mit Mädchen oder Frauen zu tun haben. Oder selbst welche sind. Also: von allen.« Aus dem Vorwort von Margarete Stokowski Susie Orbach untersucht detailliert und mit vielen anschaulichen Beispielen aus ihrem Therapiealltag unser heutiges Verhältnis zu unserem Körper. Sie betrachtet Optimierungsmechanismen und Schönheitsideale, geht aber auch auf Epigenetik, Leihmutterschaft, Hormontherapien und künstliche Intelligenz ein, um schließlich zu fragen: Sind wir die letzten Menschen, die in Körpern leben, wie wir sie kennen? Und wie können wir es schaff en, uns nicht einer Körperdiktatur zu unterwerfen, sondern zu mehr Diversität, Gesundheit und Akzeptanz zu gelangen? Es steht außer Frage, dass wir uns stärker mit dem Körper auseinandersetzen müssen. Wichtig ist, dass wir es jetzt tun.

Challenging conventional views, this book offers compelling insights into female sexuality and eroticism. It delves into the complexities faced by women, using case studies to illustrate the intricate dynamics between psychotherapists and their patients. By exploring the inner thoughts of therapists, it sheds light on the therapeutic process and how it influences women's understanding of their own desires and experiences.

Challenging traditional perceptions of therapy, the book explores the dynamics between patients and therapists, questioning the notion of a purely erotic bond and the therapist's neutrality. It delves into the emotional complexities and interactions that occur within the therapeutic setting, offering insights into the often unspoken realities of the therapist's experience and the true nature of the therapeutic relationship.

Essen ist das zentrale Lebensthema, und es ist in aller Munde. Susie Orbach regt zum Nachdenken über lebenswichtige Fragen an: Was essen wir? Wie essen wir? Nährt unser Essen Körper und Seele?

In her examination of the anorectic's struggle, Susie Orbach sees women's eating problems as symbolizing the battle for autonomy in which every woman is engaged by identifying the first and most important arena of contention, a woman's body. As the author demonstrates, a woman's obsessive monitoring, severe reduction in food intake and the accompanying bingeing are a reflection of society's demands that she does not take up too much space, that she looks a certain way in order to be acceptable and that she curtails her needs in general. Yet anorexia also expresses a rebellion againts such ideas. It is, at another level, a cry of protest, a hunger strike against the contradictory and intolerable demands women face in contemporary society.
