Pathological syncretism and eating disorders
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
This article attempts to make a longitudinal description of eating disorders, from silent onset to their possible chronification, affecting the development of the personality with a consequent impact on coping behaviors in the face of stress. To explain this process, issues related to personality development, symptoms of eating disorders, and terms such as active and passive symptomatic dissolution, mutualism, and symbiosis are incorporated to illustrate what has been proposed. Finally, reference is made to pathological syncretism, which refers to the amalgamation of the eating disorder with the personality, generating a new functional unit, leading it to chronification.
