Keywords:
Psychophysiologic disorders, nutritional disorders, child, Anorexia nervosa, obesity, bulimiaAbstract
The psychosomatics has been widely integrated to several areas of study. The objective of this work is to discuss, under a psychosomatic prospect, the nutritional disorders found in children and the psychical bases oÍthese disorders. Difficulties in the mother-child ties may contribute to somatic repercussions. The adequacy of mother’s answers to the child’s physiological and emotional needs contributes to a harmonious functioning, in the same
way that mother’s dificulties in understanding the child’s demands may facilitate the development of psychosomatic disorders. In this way, the first conflicts in the mother-child interaction find their expression in the nutritional sphere. Anorexia, obesity, bulimia, rumination and regurgitation are among the more relevant aspects of the nutritional disorders. The therapeutic approach of these disorders may, as much as possible, be conducted by a multiprofessional team, since the causes are based on several factors. Thus, the best assistance should always consider the link between the physical and psychicat bases as exposed in the text.
