The tower of the castle: A case of restrictive anorexia

Abstract

This article proposes the understanding of the evolutionary conditions underlying the appearance of restrictive anorexia during adolescence, based on the Theory of Moral Development (Villegas 2011), regarding the case of a patient who attends therapy already in adulthood. The therapeutic consultation is motivated by the proposal of assisted fertilization to facilitate a pregnancy, which raises specific dilemmas to her anorexic problem.
