and destroying other body balances and systems - and ultimately starving
themselves to death. Experts on this program explore the onset,
detection and cure of anorexia nervosa.

Reviving Ophelia:
Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls |
Mary Pipher, author of the
best-selling book of the same name, explains how corporate and marketing
values, aimed at the seduction of adolescent females for their
allowances, are supplanting family and even common-sense values!!
Trying to make people, especially teenagers, aware of trends and
conscious of their own participation in them has always been a
non-starter. Whether it was the flappers of the 20's or the "sex
crazed" rock n' rollers of the 50's or the tattooed and pierced kids of
today, they are part of their generation and they're sticking to it!
OPHELIA explains the deviations in health and lifestyle that the
imposition of media-inspired values has had recently on teenage girls in
terms of eating disorders, sexual activity, increased stress relating to
body image, etc. She also outlines an opposing set of "real"
values based on strength of mind, body and character. Also shows
parents, grandparents and friends of young women how their attitudes can
act as a countervailing force to modern cultural influences that dwell
only on prevailing images of beauty and financial worth. 35

Self-Image and Eating Disorders:
A Mirror for the Heart |
For many women, a
preoccupation with body image and a lack of self-esteem manifest
themselves in an obsession with food and diet. Such destructive
obsessions can result in anorexia nervosa and/or bulimia. This program
looks at the hidden behavior, stress, denial, and the cycle of guilt and
shame that underlie these eating disorders; shows how depression, low
energy, desperation, serious medical complications, and even death can
result; and explores their effects on family and friends. The program
shows how, when women begin to admit to themselves that there is a
problem, relief comes in sharing their story with others. The program
also shows the importance of proper treatment and professional help. 25
