Anorexia touches down into every psychological diagnosis: trauma, hysteria, obsessive-compulsion, addiction, sadomasochism, narcissism, body dysmorphia, perversion. Yet within this kaleidoscope of dis-order, the anorexic patient has found, at last, a secret order, a religious order. But what happens when the anorexic’s formula gives way? This presentation follows Kathryn’s personal history from her perfect sanctuary into the chaotic underworld of an anorexic who is failing at anorexia. Theoretical considerations take an almost psychedelic turn as we investigate the warped mirrors of body dysmorphia, the trance states of Kathryn’s frenzied efforts toward body purification, and the anorexic wish to live outside of time.

Learning Objectives: After attending the presentation, participants will be able to
– Describe the internal psychic world of the patient who presents with anorexia.
– Apply theoretical concepts to attribute meaning to the wishes of the central anorexic imagination.
– Describe how an eating disorder can be a manifestation of internalized family dynamics.

Professionals I $30
Candidates I $20
