In her article “Loving Them to Death: The Anorexic and Her Objects,” Marilyn Lawrence (2001) wrote, “Whenever one meets a patient in the grip of anorexia nervosa, one knows that some kind of catastrophe has taken place.” Queen of the Dead, Part III will consider this catastrophe not as a singular event, but defined by its ongoingness. As breast cancer claims the life of her mother, Kathryn’s relapse into anorexia delivers her to an underworld of her own devising, where psychic survival trumps the life of the body. We follow the girl into her nightmare to discover the surreal, and even surrealist, dimensions of eating disorders.

Learning Objectives: After attending this presentation, participants will be able to
– Describe how anorexia and bulimia function to manage relational dimensions.
– Identify the role of rivalry in the family system as it relates to eating disorders.
– Discuss eating disorders through the lens of surrealism.
