Roth,
Geneen, Feeding The Hungry Heart: The Experience of Compulsive Eating, Signet, NY, 1982
(ISBN 0451161319). In this book, Ms. Roth points out the reasons that people overeat, and
the metaphor that eating is feeding a different sort of hunger: Love. Included are
passages written by students in Ms. Roth's class, which teaches people to love themselves
and thus break free from the destructive cycle of overeating.
Roth,
Geneen, Breaking Free from Compulsive Eating, Signet, NY, 1984 (ISBN 0451168348). As a
follow-up to her previous book, Ms. Roth details her personal program for successful
weight loss from an emotional standpoint. Although this selection does not discuss
healthful eating, it is an excellent supplement to a nutrition book, because it examines
the emotional issues involved in undertaking any weight loss program.
Roth,
Geneen, When Food Is Love: Exploring The Relationship Between Eating And Intimacy, Dutton,
NY, 1991 (ISBN 0525249672). Ms. Roth completes her theme in this last book by
discussing the concept of replacing love with food. She points out that people often use
food as a means of avoiding intimacy, and explores ways to heal "the hurting
child."
