Abstract

As a complex pathology, anorexia nervosa interacts with the psychological challenges of pregnancy, and raises questions about how to support the women concerned. As part of a multidisciplinary approach, support groups are particularly important, offering both individual and social support. Child-parent drop-in centers can also provide a supportive space for the psychological work of parenting.
