Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A HEALTH CRISIS THAT STRIKES MEN OF ALL AGES</b> <br> Trying everything from compulsive weight lifting to steroids, more and more boys and men are taking the quest for physical perfection beyond the bounds of normal behavior. <i>The Adonis Complex</i> -- the groundbreaking book that first gave a name to this phenomenon and sparked nationwide interest in the subject -- identifies for the first time the symptoms and warning signs of this dangerous problem, including: <br> <ul> <li>An obsession with exercise, sometimes to the exclusion of all other activities <li>Binge eating, anorexia nervosa, and bulimia <li>The abuse of steroids, muscle-building supplements, and diet aids </ul> <br> But perhaps more important, it offers readers an explanation of the underlying causes of the Adonis complex, together with hands-on advice for those who have experienced body obsessions themselves, or who see these problems in a boy or man they love.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> Compelling [and] convincing...A provocative look at what has been, until now, a largely unexplored subject.<br><br><i>Time</i> magazine cover story Groundbreaking. Ripped male bodies are used today to advertise everything that shapely female bodies advertise: not just fitness products, but also dessert liqueurs, microwave ovens, and luxury hotels. The authors of <i>The Adonis Complex</i> want guys to rebel against those images, or at least see them for what they are: a goal unattainable without drug use.<br><br>William Pollack, Ph.D. author of <i>Real Boys: Rescuing Our Sons From The Myths Of Boyhood</i> Ten years after <i>The Beauty Myth</i> we finally understand the relationship between society's expectation of boys and men and how they think about their bodies.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Harrison G. Pope, Jr., M.D., </b> is a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and chief of the Biological Psychiatry Laboratory at McLean Hospital. He lives in Concord, Massachusetts
