There is no better way to understand ourselves and our relationships with others than through what we eat. What does food tell us about love? For psychoanalytic therapist Andrea Oskis, the deeply personal stories her patients share with her and that tell her the most about them are not those about narcissist mothers, neglectful fathers or rivaling siblings. The stories that are the most revealing are their food stories. Food and attachment are entwined from day one; the first bond we make as a tiny human being is to the person who feeds us. And as Oskis demonstrates, if we cannot find feelings of comfort or security in food, we tend not to find them in relationships either.
