Not too impressive
11. Dezember 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
I'll start with the one aspect of this book which I found positive: it could potentially be a useful tool for a person seeking a mentoring relationship in twleve-step-based recovery. For this reason, I am giving it two stars rather than one. Considering all other facets of the book, I am surprised that it has received so many positive reviews. As other reviewers have pointed out, Beating Ana is one of the first books (maybe the very first) to point out that having a recovery mentor can make success much more likely as an eating disorder sufferer proceeds toward his/her goals for wellness. But I question the assertion that this idea is a new or unique contribution in approaches to eating disorders. For years, sufferers and professionals have applied the twelve-step significance of a sponsor to the eating disorder recovery process. Almost anyone who has been through inpatient treatment for an eating disorder can testify to the fact that recovery is smoother when one is accompanied by others who have been there. This is why support groups can be so helpful. In my opinion, that is quite obvious, and this book presents nothing new or unique on that issue. Another probelm with Beating Ana is that--like many eating disorder self-help books and memoirs--the author seems to presuppose that what worked for her will work for everyone who suffers from an eating disorder. Again and again, this book speaks to the necessity of working the twelve steps, as if there were no other model for mentoring or recovery. For those of us who are critical of the the twelve-step approach for one reason or another...and those of us who have recovered DESPITE the recovery community's inundation with the steps, this book comes across as alienating and limiting. This became even clearer to me when I applied for membership in the online community associated with this book, and I was denied membership because "the community would not be a good fit" for me. I see the potential for many people (particularly those in early recovery) to be misled by this book since it focuses so heavily on personal experience without many qualifying statements. For once, I would like to see a book on eating disorder recovery which does not so arrogantly assume that all sufferers have the same needs or will recover in the same way as the author did. I was hoping to find that in this book when I first purchased it, but unfortunately I did not.

This book is very triggering for those newly in recovery from anorexia. The reflective journal exercises bring up strong emotions surrounding the purpose one's eating disorder served. Making returning to self destructive coping behaviors very appealing.

This looks like a simple book but the elements contained within the pages of "Beating Ana" are a support system to aid anyone with an eating disorder to break through to into health. The author says something so profound right on the first page of part one: "Quite possibly, the only experience tougher on a human body, mind, heart, and spirit than falling ill is getting better. It gets unnecessarily tougher, however, when we assume that we will have to heal the same way we got sick--alone. We don't." In this book you will find a companion to healing.
Chapters begin with a letter to the author, Shannon Cutts, and her response. You know she understands because she's been there and healed. Next is a short piece on one of the elements for healing and the "recovery workshop" which is something the reader can really do to grow and process new feelings and thoughts. The workshop can be anything from watching a movie to making a list. Each chapter closes with a "Life Celebration Affirmation."
The author writes with the voice of a very understanding mentor, someone who gets what's going on but who also sees through all the tricks that an eating disorder can bring up so you can get through even the hardest of times. There is a wonderful focus on empowering the reader (or participant!) to experience the beauty within.
The book wraps up with guidelines for forming and being involved in a mentoring relationship. "Beating Ana" would be a great companion in a healing process. It is not about the dark side, it's about getting through the haunting darkness of eating disorders into freedom. I work with young women and this book will remain on my shelf as a wonderful resource.
