Abstract

Background: Anorexia nervosa is a prevalent psychopathological illness characterized by anorexia nervosa, where individuals reject the affective-pulsional aspect of the body and focus on its physiological aspects, denying the body's dimension, similar to Ponty's distinction between corpse propre and corps objective. The anorexic subject's body as a dead, desireless entity, rejecting food and language, creating a spiral of pure jouissance, isolating them from the outside world. Aim: The study aims to explore the mind-body connection and the potential for deterioration into psychopathological relationships between the subject and their body. Conclusion: The study explores the opposition between the physical body and the lived body in anorexia, focusing on the weave of past, present, and future, which is rejected by the anorexic subject, leading to death.
