Abstract:
Body-oriented psychotherapy has been an innovative practice in the treatment of anorexia for around ten years. This body-oriented and relational care is carried out on medical prescription individually or in groups, once or twice a week for six to eighteen months. The session comprises different moments of welcome, movement and exchange. This approach constitutes an interesting therapy which needs to be validated by research.
