Summary

Rodemeyer has made an important contribution to phenomenological work on gender and the development of eating disorders (EDs). Drawing upon Husserl's analysis of “levels of constitution” – the subjective processes by which phenomena are made present as objects of experience – she convincingly argues that these levels not only help us get a better grip on the development and experience of EDs generally, but also refine our methods of diagnosis and treatment.
