(London 2010) Maestro: Excerpts from an analytic treatment of a 10 year old girl suffering from nervous anorexia
| Published in 2010-03-19 |
Abstract
Francesca is 10 years old when she is hospitalised because of a severe form of recent-onset anorexia. During the hospitalisation she starts a three sessions/week psychoanalytic treatment that the she will continue as an out- patient.
In the first phase of the analytic process the anorexic symptom is to be interpretable as an omnipotent defence against an intense anguishes about sexual maturation. F. is either locked in a neutral condition, neither male nor female or fusionally identified with narcisistic/phallic aspects of the internal maternal object.
In the following phase the anorexic symptom will reveal the unconscious fantasy to regress to a intra uterus feeding, a fantasy that seems more close to the emotional needs of the Self, placed in a regressive defensive position because of the anguish of separation from the object.
These passages will be described in the psychoanalytic process focusing on some technical peculiarities of psychoanalytic process with children: a) the interference of the elements of “external reality” ( anamnestic news, history of the parent, information got from other setting of the hospitalization ) in the formation of the representations in the mind of the analyst and in the counter-transference; b) the centrality of the analytic process so that different levels of communication (drawings, body postures, stories, games) may become symbolic precursors suitable for generating emotional transformation
