Customer Reviews

Brilliant insights

Woodman wrote about eating disorders before they were vogue. Her personal insights through her own eating disorder and those of ther clients offer a deep look into these disorders. If you don't buy the Jungian perspective don't buy this book. But if you do you will find it well worth the price.

Far from the *WORST* book I have ever read

Marion Goodman is one of the foremost Jungian Analysts in the world. I have found ALL of her books, including "Owl Was A Baker's Daughter" to be exceptionally compassionate towards women. She has great reserves of empathy and profoundly subtle insights into feminine psychology. This book explores a very painful aspect of many women's lives, and the exploration is undertaken with scrupulous honesty, integrity and wisdom.
