A Tale of Eating: Writing as a Pathway out of an Eating Disorder.
Place, Fiona
Journal of Poetry Therapy, v7 n4 p189-95 Sum 1994
Presents a prose-poetry tale which examines the use of writing as a pathway out of an eating disorder. Highlights the need for persons with an eating problem to find their own voice and describe their experiences in their own words rather than the restrictive narrative of an eating problem. Stresses the value of eliciting reflective, as well as affective, responses to texts. (SR)
