Abstract

PADRAO, Camila Braz. The pain of not existing: a reflection on the issue of limits on eating disorders. Cad. psicanal. [online]. 2013, vol.35, n.28, pp.129-147. ISSN 1413-6295.

This article suggests a reflection on the theoretical and clinical aspects of eating disorders, based on the experience of psychoanalytic treatment of three women suffering from different types of eating disorders. A common ground - from which to observe those clinical experiences - is highlighted in order to approach the following topics: limits, the pre-Oedipal dimension, and the Oedipal issue.

Keywords : Limits; boundaries; pre-Oedipal relationship; Oedipal relationship; eating disorders.
