Bodies

The New York Times writes of the author of Bodies; “Susie Orbach is, aside from Sigmund Freud, probably the most famous psychotherapist to have ever set up couch in Britain”. In Bodies, Susie Orbach raises fundamental questions about the pressure to perfect our bodies and argues that how we view our bodies is a mirror of how we view ourselves. With sexual aids such as Viagra now a common street drug, breast enhancement a sweet sixteen birthday present, and eating problems affecting children as young as six, Bodies is critical reading…In China, women are having their legs broken and extended by ten centimetres. In Iran, there are 35,000 cosmetic nose reconstructions a year. The body is no longer a given, and to possess a flawless one has become the ambition of millions.
