Abstract

NODIN, Nuno  and  LEAL, Isabel Pereira. Representações paternas na anorexia nervosa . Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2005, vol.23, n.2, pp.201-208. ISSN 0870-8231.

The purpose of this study was to get more information about the father figure and its function in individuals suffering from Anorexia Nervosa, considering that this subject is very unusual in the specific literature available. According to the results, the anorectics are very ambivalent regarding their father figure, which is, at a conscious level, very affectionately invested and, at an unconscious level, felt as unwanted and negative.

Keywords : Anorexia; father’s representations.
