[The effects of the psychiatric hospital on an adolescent's sexual development.].

Diego, a young adolescent, is hospitalised in a psychiatric unit for anorexia. The diagnosis of anorexia, as well as medical practices, result in resistance from the young man, for whom being "anorexic" seems incompatible with a masculine and heterosexual vision of oneself. His passage through the psychiatric unit is then not without effect on his sexual development.
