(en) In this article, we take into consideration eating disorders (specifically anorexia). We are talking about the psychological mechanism of denial, often associated with these patients, and give him a systemic understanding by attributing it also to his entourage. Then we discuss the adaptive dimensions of the disorder while summoning a phenomenological reflection on the body. Finally, we propose to understand the eating disorder as a disorder of emotional regulation.
