ABSTRACT

Editors’ Note: This chapter connects with the themes of access, emotion, science, and structure. Frank offers a model for nutritional counseling that begins with a more holistic understanding of an individual’s socially embedded lived reality—drawing in matters of socioeconomic constraints, emotion, cultural influences, and religious/spiritual life, among others. In developing this holistic model, Frank re-situates nutrition science, not diminishing its importance, but de-centering its authority amid the multiplex foci necessary for the sincere practice of nutrition.
