1 Eating disorders in men: in their own words. Russell Delderfield

2 Overview: 1. Body-shock my story of ED & recovery 2. Key messages from recent research 3. Men s recovery experiences 4. Conclusions the S word.

3 1. Body-shock Inhabiting a man s body. The grip of bingeing & purging Luck of the draw? Long term therapy, therapeutic change and compulsive eating. I take up too much space... I just need to be a lot smaller.

4 2.

5 Social torment turned inwards as habits to obsessions. Exposure to male ideas of what s hot and what s not. The family as training ground Abuse > violence > homelessness > poor mental health. Starving for more exercise. It s not about my body versus it is about my body. In recovery no two men are the same.

6 3. Men s (recovery) experiences Michael Krasnow - My life as a male anorexic. John Evans - Becoming John: Anorexia's Not Just for Girls. Gary Grahl - Skinny boy : a young man's battle and triumph over anorexia. Matthew Campling - Person-centred practice: case studies in positive psychology.

7 4. Conclusions: the S word Stigma Socio-cultural constructs of eating disorders have illuminated by feminist theory, but the lack of equivalent discourse addressing male gender identity has left our knowledge of eating disorders in men aetiolated. (Jones & Morgan, 2010: 29)
