About this title

Synopsis

After surveying current research practices and model development strategies, the author examines animal models of eating disorders from both scientific and ethical points of view. He exposes logical inconsistencies in the study of animals as models for human behavior, and concludes that such research has little to contribute. The foreword is by noted chimpanzee-researcher Jane Goodall. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Review

Shapiro gives a good look at his own reflections on the animal issue with scholarship that is uniquely thorough and direct. He manages to hold a steady mirror up to our assumptions and our work in a manner that is sometimes gently educative, at other times confrontive, but always difficult to ignore. Most books inform, this one can motivate change. John P. Gluck, PhD, Professor of Psychology, University of New Mexico. -- About the Author
