Abstract

There are several basic structures upon which anorexia nervosa could develop: hostility between mother and daughter, feministic protest, abandonnism, the ascetic structure, the reluctance against the being-thrown-on-the-world, asw. The phenomenological analysis reveals, through these different structures, a common distress. The patient feels the others, and also, the existence, as a violence. Yet, she feels help ass in her fight against this violence. So she takes her own body as hostage in order to delay her entry in the existence.
