Men are encouraged to surgically pump up their pecs, breast enhancement is a sweet sixteen birthday present in the suburbs of America, and eating problems—from bulimia to obesity—are growing daily, affecting children as young as six.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn China, women are having their legs broken and extended by 5cms. In Iran, behind the Hijab, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn her years of practice as a psychoanalyst, Susie Orbach has come to realise that the way we view our bodies is the mirror of how we view ourselves: our body becomes the measure of our worth. In \u003cem\u003eBodies\u003c\/em\u003e, she raises the fundamental questions about how we arrived here and proposes a new theory on how we became embodied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46543197143276,"sku":"9781788162883","price":26.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/18157873482824.jpg?v=1749737707","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/bodies-by-susie-orbach-9781788162883","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
