The purpose of this article is to conceptualize a feminist narrative approach to male anorexia nervosa (MAN). Both narrative and feminist theories have been utilized to enrich the discourse of AN among women. An unintended result of this primary focus on women’s experiences has been a limited focus on the experiences of men with AN. This article will explore a contemporary social discourse on masculinity, why some men utilize AN as a means of attaining the ideals put forth through such discourse, and how a feminist narrative approach can be applied to working with men struggling with AN.

强化薄叙事：男性厌食症的女性主义叙事概念化

本文的目的是概念化对男性厌食症（MAN）的女权主义叙事方法。叙事理论和女权主义理论都被用来丰富女性对性爱的诉说。这种主要关注女性经历的意外结果是有限地关注了AN患者的男性经历。本文将探讨当代关于男性气质的社会话语，为什么有些男人会使用AN作为实现通过这种话语提出的理想的手段，以及如何将女性主义叙事方法应用于与AN挣扎的男人一起工作。
