Hardback. Condition: Very Good. As a Jew in an anti-Semitic world, Sigmund Freud was forced to cope with racism even in the "serious" medical literature of the fin de siecle, which described Jews as inherently pathological, sexually degenerate and linked in special ways with syphilis, insanity and certain types of cancer. Did Freud's internalizing of these images of racial difference shape the questions of psychoanalysis? Here, Gilman argues that Freud dealt with his anxiety about himself as a Jew by projecting it onto other cultural "inferiors" - such as women. In Freud's writings, pejorative distinctions between Aryan males and circumcised Jews found in the medical literature of his day are inscribed on the bodies of women, and beliefs about the difference of the male Jew are paralleled by claims about the otherness of the female. Examining a variety of 19th- and early 20th-century scientific writings, Gilman discusses the prevailing belief that male Jews were "feminized", as stated outright by Jung and others. In Vienna, Freud's image of himself as a powerful, neutral scientist seemed to combine with a wish to subsume Jewishness under the more accepted, "included" (but second-class) status granted to women. And if hysteria and neurasthenia were said by the medical authorities of the time to affect male Jews in particular, paranoia and homosexuality came to be seen by Freud (and other Jewish physicians) as the illnesses of male anti-Semites. The attribution of derogatory meanings to pathological phenomena extended to organic disease. This book ends by examining Freud's reaction to this question when he became a patient himself, with cancer of the jaw. Throughout, the work explores Freud's complex reaction to the medicalization of concepts about race, as revealed in his informal comments and letters, as well as in the rare overt references to those ideas in his published writing. Challenging those who separate Freud's theoretical creativity from his sense of being Jewish, this view of the beginnings of psychoanalysis should interest historians of medicine, as well as a broad range of readers concerned with Jewish studies, gender studies, literature and the intellectual and cultural history of the fin de siecle.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Drawing on a wealth of medical and historical materials, Sander Gilman sketches details of the anti-Semitic rhetoric about the Jewish body and mind, including medical and popular depictions of the Jewish voice, feet, and nose. Case studies illustrate how Jews have responded to such public misconceptions as the myth of the cloven foot and Jewish flat-footedness, the proposed link between the Jewish mind and hysteria, and the Victorians' irrational connection between Jews and prostitutes. Gilman is especially concerned with the role of psychoanalysis in the construction of anti-Semitism, examining Freud's attitude towards his own Jewishness and its effect on his theories, as well as the supposed objectiveness of psychiatrists and social scientists.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. According to the World Health Organization we are in the midst of a global obesity crisis. Is obesity a disease itself or a symptom of underlying physiological or psychological illnesses? Is it a sign of social excess and therefore not a disease in the medical sense at all? Is it really 'new'?Sander L. Gilman, a leading authority in the social and cultural history of the body, presents a fascinating account of the history of obesity, looking at the changing attitudes towards the body, from regarding it as 'God's temple' to more mechanical and practical concerns from the Enlightenment onwards. In the eighteenth century obesity was understood as a problem of the affluent; today the affluent are more likely to have a personal trainer and a healthier diet, and it is the poorer classes who are more likely to be overweight. Gilman considers obesity in many contexts - including a chapter on obesity in China and the impact of modernization and Westernization on this very different culture. Taking the issue up to the present day, Gilman examines the wider political and social implications obesity raises, considering whether obesity should be cured by diet or surgery, by psychotherapy or economic improvement, by healthier food choices or by social relocation.…
