This talk will describe some of the conflictual issues faced in psychotherapy by young people with anorexia nervosa. The process of working with unprocessed implicit memories and transforming them into experiences which can be thought about in a present moment in psychotherapy will be illustrated with drawings, clinical vignettes and theoretical queries about the nature of transformation through psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
