“Less of a man”: Stigma, masculinity, and the male experience of eating disorders. (original) (raw)

2013, Guest lecture for the Masters of HIV, STIs, and Sexual Health (MHSSH), Faculty of Medicine, University of Sydney, Parramatta, Australia.

Foci are the "double bind" of stigmatisation for men with disorders at each end of the eating disorder spectrum and the intrinsic role that masculinity plays in sufferers' decision whether or not to seek treatment.
