Our starting point is the therapeutic follow-up of Clementine, a melancholic adolescent, thrown into an institutional setting following a severe case of anorexia nervosa. We posit that, in the case of Clementine, the choice of the anorexic symptom may demonstrate both a necessity to detach herself from love objects and a difficulty in doing so, but also provides the start of a subjectifying solution.
