The Good Body: Asceticism in Contemporary Culture Book

A range of experts-psychiatrists, psychologists, literary scholars, historians, a philosopher, a theologian, an anthropologist, and the former director of a center for abused women-join together to discuss why control of our bodies through self denial has become so important in contemporary culture and why society must provide its members with more positive ways to define and empower themselves.Read More
