Sobrevivir a un mundo gordofóbico: Sin caer en trastornos alimenticios
by Jesica LaviaCon más de quince años de experiencia como nutricionista, Jesica Lavia cuestiona la gordofobia y reclama dejar de estigmatizar y patologizar a las personas por el tamaño de sus cuerpos y "entender todas las aristas que afectan no solo lo que comemos, sino el acceso a lo que comemos y cómo nos relacionamos con nuestra alimentación. Entender cómo lo cultural nos atraviesa y la urgencia de que el cambio sea colectivo". Argentina ocupa el segundo lugar a nivel mundial con más casos de trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. Este es un claro indicador de que vivimos en una sociedad en la que la delgadez es un valor y un ideal por alcanzar. Cualquiera que se desvíe de ese camino sufre discriminación social y también médica, porque hasta en un consultorio se alarman si nuestro peso se escapa de los índices que determinan cuándo estamos obesos. Esto está generando una cultura de dietas y una ola cada vez más grande de gordofobia, que van minando nuestra salud mental y pueden disparar varios trastornos de la alimentación. Con más de quince años de experiencia como licenciada en Nutrición, Jesica Lavia ofrece una mirada cruda y realista sobre este problema, al tiempo que reclama y propone un cambio de paradigma para dejar de estigmatizar, oprimir y patologizar a las personas por el tamaño de sus cuerpos. Y "entender todas las aristas que afectan no solo lo que comemos, sino el acceso a lo que comemos y cómo nos relacionamos con nuestra alimentación. Comprender cómo lo cultural nos atraviesa y la urgencia de que el cambio sea colectivo".

Social Work With Multi-Family Groups
by D Rosemary CassanoHere is a remarkable new volume for understanding the interrelatedness of the primary family group and the formed therapeutic group. Multiple family therapy is a special type of group practice that involves the members of several families meeting together with a professional to work on common family concerns. Rosemary Cassano, acclaimed for her qualitative research on multiple family group therapy, has produced an exciting volume that reflects the diversity of client populations and patterns and processes in these groups. Social Work With Multi-Family Groups reveals to the professional what actually goes on in the process of group interactions and practitioner interventions. In this state-of-the-art volume, social workers set forth a specific and careful definition of multiple family practice and examine the successful use of multi-family groups with families with child-labeled problems, institutionalized elderly suffering from physical and cognitive impairments and their family members, patients with life-threatening illness and their families, and several other support groups. Each of the practical examples illustrates how professionals can design helping systems for their clients that combine both professional and peer help and activate the help that is embedded in each client’s own family.
