Bulimia e devastação: uma clínica do feminino

Abstract

Through the psychoanalytical theory, especially Freuds texts (l969[l915], (1969[1919], 1969[1925], 1969 [1931] 1969[1932]; Lacan (2003[2001], 2008[1975]; Miller (1998), this monograph analyses the clinical case of a 27 yearold patient, attended to at an office with bulimic symptoms. Through fragments of the case we will demonstrate that these bulimic symptoms are part of a larger set of symptoms which are associated to the devastation phenomenon inherent to women. In the mentioned case, it makes the patient be attached to the bulimic symptoms so as to cover the fact of the fatherly metaphor not having been inserted.
