Abstract

Eating disorders are pathologies with a complex, multifactorial etiopathogenesis. Their treatment requires an interdisciplinary team. This paper discusses some characteristics and the most common difficulties encountered by such a team (multiple transfers, concealed alliances, role inversion, dissociation). Since their task that is carried out with patients in a critical situation and conflicting families, the team members are exposed to stressing conditions (illustrated by their dreams), and faced with possibilities of withdrawal and/or burn-out.
