Summary: a torso by any other name...
Review: What I like about Nili Sachs' book is how she has mined the English language for all the double-entendres in reference to the female torso, we don't think twice about using.

If you are at all troubled by your feelings of imperfection or what your mammalian glands are for or why or how Western societies have so many contradictory taboos about female body images, then this exploration of how half a dozen women, coming together for group therapy about their shame & misery, will not only absorb you, it will bring quite a degree of healing, especially as there are exercises to do...& lots to think about.

Twenty years in the making, through Nili Sachs' work with hundreds of women, BOOBY-TRAPPED gives you both sides of the therapy -- the thoughts & struggles of the group(of all ages of women), as well as the affects on their therapist.

Rebeccasreads recommends this one for its insights & humor, bravery in facing breast cancer, crippling body loathing, lifelong numbness & the perception that the quality of relationships depends upon size.
