Idealization and its Danger in a Restrictor Anorexic Girl
Dr. Campbell will present six and one half year analysis of a 14 ½ year old restrictor anorexic girl.
This case demonstrates the use of interpretation within the patient’s metaphor to reduce transference fear and anxiety in order to keep the patient involved in the analytic process, to avoid patient loss or stasis. In the restrictor the dynamics of underlying fear of the developmental progression to and into individuation is the problem. Food restriction is the surface symptom and it will disappear when developmental fears are sufficiently worked with through interpretation. It is this that will allow exploration of the underlying cause leading to food restriction, thus allowing development to proceed.

The Little Princesses Reading fiction to deepen the psychoanalysis of an 11-year-old girl in a two-system approach This presentation reports on the 2-year analytical treatment of a girl who was referred by her parents due to a worsening trend of anger, irritability, mood swings, social anxiety, and fight-and-flight reactivity. The treatment was structured on a two-system approach, described by Kerry and Jack Novick (Working with “Out-of-Control” Children—A Two-Systems Approach 1 ). While the work on the issues of distorted object relations, ego deficiencies, and difficulties with affect regulation was the backbone of the treatment, the analyst and the patient discovered their shared love for reading fiction which facilitated, expanded, and deepened the analytical work significantly. Multiple books were read or discussed over the course of 2 years. These books were utilized to create therapeutic metaphors and symbolic meanings to form an emotional language and express unconscious wishes and fears. The presentation emphasizes sessions with intense transference and counter transference that highlights the challenges of analytical work with disturbed children, and the critical importance of the analyst’s supervision and analysis. At the end, the presentation covers the termination process and treatment outcome.
