ABSTRACT
The present work aims to
address the issue of painful awakening to the hidden and repressed forces that
emerged during psychoanalytic psychotherapy, thus opposing treatment. This refers to the difficulties
that become of in the treatment of an obese patient who sought help to deal
with their binge eating, their incessant search for an ideal body in response to
narcissistic requirement. And it reveals the attempt of a truer approximation
with itself, meeting its subjectivity, which allowed, thus, the infinite
possibilities, even of psychic change, without assigning to the outside the
solution of all its psychic difficulties.
KEYWORDS
Obesity, food compulsion, psychic change.
