      abstract = {'The architectural design of the thinking that underpins  this exploration of the relationship between child sexual  abuse and eating disorders is superb. Hodge draws on  Bakhtin, feminist dialogics and the creative arts to  produce an imaginative analysis of women's experiences and  accordingly offers a convincing and novel contribution to  the field. Undoubtedly this is a methodological masterpiece  and a great leap for social work research!' --Professor  Charlotte Williams OBE, RMIT University, Australia 'A very  well researched and timely book, published when the "me too  movement" has brought hidden stories of sexual abuse out of  the shadows into public awareness. It should become  required reading for training courses for professionals to  work directly with women who present with this history. The  book clearly portrays the essential principles and  strengths of its qualitative methodology, pivoting as it  does on phenomenological consciousness, emphasising that  the book is about the lived experience of the women  themselves. It is their story, about their food related  behaviour, which is examined as psychological consequence  of sexual abuse, rather than adopting the generic "eating  disorders" approach. This gives a powerful account.' --Dr  Maye Taylor, Psychotherapist and previously the MSc  Academic Course Leader, Manchester Metropolitan University,  United Kingdom 'This vitally important book privileges  women's voices in how they make sense of their own  experiences of the connections between "eating disorders"  and child sexual abuse, elucidating how women with eating  disorders often use their bodies as a form of resistance to  express silenced traumas. The book is mandatory reading for  anyone who seeks to move beyond the pathologising  understandings that currently dominate the field. The depth  of critical analysis offered by Lisa Hodge delivers gold  star scholarship that points to innovative and creative  ways to understand and respond to this important social  issue.' --Professor Christine Morley, Queensland University  of Technology, Australia},
