Além do comer: uma contribuição psicanalítica à nutrição

Abstract

This article discusses the nutritional treatment given mainly to people seen and diagnosed as fat or obese. Thus, this research starts from the notion that the body is necessarily a subjectiv experience and is not limited to the organic, physiological and palpable. Thus, based on the psychoanalytic, privileging the concepts of subject and listening we tried to outline another possible way of looking at the body that appears to be excessive. Considering that the person who enters a nutritional treatment is a subject in the psychoanalytic sense of the term, therefore a divided subject with a lack that cannot be satisfied, became fundamental for the inclusion of the other concepts used and for the possibility of thinking about a different way of providing nutritional care.
