["BodyExperience" - I - You -We and Anorexia Nervosa in Adolescence].

Adolescence can be understood as a physical "awakening", but keeping a childlike mind.The term "awakening" implies movement, straightening, purposeful progress and change as physical occurrences. The development of a sexual identity differentiates in the change of female/male body parts and reaches its peak. Desire and the desire to be desired are tested. Female adolescent patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) feel unable to cope with these changes and withdraw emotionally. This leads to an increasing loss of social relationships as well as a vivid mental development.Their physical awareness often is so vanished that hardly any self-movement is possible. A sense of oneself is the mental object of self-organization (cf. Plassmann, 2021) andmanages one's joy of living, one's body, one's consciousness and growth. "Awakening" requires a stable and vivid physical awareness. This article describes the bodypsychotherapeutic therapy with ConcentrativeMovementTherapy in diagnostics and therapy of female adolescent patients with AN. The core topic BodyExperience is developed on the basis of the aspects of bonding, family and AN. Short case presentations serve to deepen.
