The lifestyle in Western industrialized nations is dominated by time and performance pressure, lack of movement, consumer and beauty ideals, and the resulting alienation from a simple everyday life with sensually nourishing connections. More and more people are trying to cope with emotional difficulties and conflict-ridden relationships by manipulating their bodies or attempting to ignore their physical well-being. They oscillate between too much and too little control, becoming anxious, compulsive, or addicted. Eating disorders and obesity, as well as subclinical forms of eating behavior disorders, have increased in all Western countries. There is a demand for therapies that address both the physical and emotional levels and help those affected to regain a mindful connection to themselves and their environment. In this book, ten experienced therapists share their insights.
