 N. Feldman's Size-Positive Book List   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The book is both theoretical and practical, examining why women are so critical of their bodies and presenting specific ways to remedy that, including general approaches and exercises, both physical and psychological.
The book covers basic research on all areas related to psychology and food or drink, from what might be the primary odors (much more debated than primary colors or tastes) to genetic elements in taste-preferences, or the effects of food and non-food substances on hyperactivity.
This book tried to look at all sides of the issue, and does counselĀ  self-love rather than self-hatred, but it mostly just assumes that fat is inherently unattractive, so the analysis of how spouses react to fat and weight loss is perhaps too skewed and certainly severely incomplete.
