Abstract

BRUNO, Cássia A. N. B.. Contemporary psychoanalysis focusing male anorexia. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2007, vol.41, n.4, pp. 53-65. ISSN 0486-641X.

Male anorexia is a good example of contemporary pathology, and it allows us to illustrate the uncertainties facing the analyst who treat such patients. Basically, the investigation concentrates on the question: where does the analyst stand? What is his or her basic methodology? What is his or her technique? What are the pre-requisites to put oneself in the place of an analyst? Our purpose here is to formalize the theoretical viewpoint which substantiates the approach of cases seen as narcissistic pathology.

Keywords : Contemporary psychoanalysis; Narcissistic pathologies; Eating disorders; Anorexia; Male anorexia; Psychoanalytical methodology.
