[en] Discusses anorexia nervosa as a complex syndrome in which sociocultural, familial, and individual components are interconnected. Based on their own work with anorexic patients and their families, the present authors examine the familial aspects of anorexia at an interactional level and a mythical level. The importance of a 3-generational perspective on anorexia is emphasized. The case study of a 17-yr-old female student with bulimic anorexia is discussed with regard to family dynamics and myths and the sculpting of the present and the future.
