La incidencia de lo sintomático de la pareja parental y la presencia de trastornos alimenticios en adolescentes.

Abstract

The present research aimed to study the relationship between the symptomatic aspects of the parental couple and the presence of eating disorders in adolescents. The importance of this research lies in the need to understand the symptomatic aspects of the parental couple and how they influence the emergence of eating disorders, particularly during adolescence. The main objective of this study was to explore the incidence of the symptomatic aspects of the parental couple and the development of anorexia and bulimia in adolescents through various perspectives, such as the psychoanalytic approach, the medical discourse, and social psychology, which allowed for a deeper exploration of the topic. The study used a qualitative approach and a descriptive methodology, which helped to understand the relationship between the symptomatology of the parental couple and the emergence of eating disorders. The methods employed included structured interviews with adolescents and young adults who had experienced eating disorders during their adolescence, as well as clinical psychologists, enabling a qualitative analysis of the data obtained. The results of the research revealed a significant correlation between the symptomatic aspects of the parental couple and the manifestation of eating disorders in adolescents. These findings confirm the presence of the parental couple's symptomatology in eating disorders; however, it is not conclusive as the sole factor contributing to the presence of eating disorders.
