The treatment of anorexia nervosa has been marked by challenges, prompting scholars to establish therapeutic guidelines aimed at overcoming barriers, and enhancing the efficacy of treatment. Although previous studies have documented the difficulties that usually arise in anorexia treatment, the challenges and the vulnerabilities therapists face have not been fully illuminated. The objective of this study is to delve into therapists’ experiences and explore the sense of vulnerability they encounter during the treatment of anorexia nervosa, thereby fostering a more profound comprehension of their perspectives. One-to-one interviews were carried out with a cohort of 7 Greek therapists, all of whom had a minimum of 5 years of professional experience. Data were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis and two main themes were constructed: therapist-related factors and building communication. Therapists experienced moments of self-doubt wherein they questioned their capacity to provide an efficacious treatment plan. Aside from this sense of vulnerability, treatment was also thought to be hindered by personal biases while issues of mistrust and parental involvement were considered to be additional challenges. Lastly, the study raises doubts about the therapist’s role as the confident and unbiased expert, emphasizing the criticality of addressing these challenges to enhance the overall treatment outcomes.

ABSTRACTPsychotherapy is an art: for many practitioners this claim has considerable appeal. My intention here is not to merely defend the claim, but to see how far it can go. To vaguely endorse it feels apologetic; it also implies a facile polarization between art and science – between a (preferred) subjective, qualitative dimension, and a seemingly objective and quantitative domain. It would be wrong to bring art into the equation without some appreciation of the aesthetic experience. In relation to therapy, this requires developing a better grasp of the craft of therapy – of its imaginative response to the sheer elusiveness of mental distress. aesthetics. Psychotherapy is also a form of political praxis. Some practitioners – myself included – would support that claim. Can psychotherapy become a praxis? Can it be, in other words, linked to action, and as such become a political force in the wider, transformational sense of the term? These are among the questions explored in the second part of the current paper.ABSTRAKTPsychotherapie ist eine Kunst: Für viele Therapeuten hat dieser Anspruch eine große Anziehungskraft. Es geht mir hier nicht nur darum, die Klage zu verteidigen, sondern um zu sehen, wie weit sie gehen kann.

Es wäre falsch, die Kunst in die Gleichung einzubeziehen, ohne die ästhetische Erfahrung zu würdigen. In Bezug auf die Therapie erfordert dies die Entwicklung eines besseren Verständnisses des Handwerks der Therapie – ihrer imaginativen Reaktion auf die schiere Flüchtigkeit psychischer Belastung.
