Abstract

Poremećaji hranjenja su složeni mentalni poremećaji koji su doživjeli značajne promjene i evoluciju tijekom 21. stoljeća. Nova istraživanja naglašavaju povezanost tih poremećaja s drugim mentalnim stanjima kao što su poremećaji ličnosti, suicidalnost, samoozljeđivanje, deficit mentalizacije i poremećaj selfa. Razumijevanje ove povezanosti ključno je za pružanje adekvatne podrške pacijentima s poremećajima hranjenja i postizanje uspješnih rezultata u njihovom liječenju.

Vrlo često pacijenti s poremećajima hranjenja pokazuju deficit mentalizacije, što se odnosi na teškoće u razumijevanju vlastitih i tuđih misli, emocija i namjera. To može otežati razvoj zdravih interpersonalnih odnosa i izgradnju pozitivnog samopoimanja. Uz to, poremećaj selfa igra ključnu ulogu u ovom kontekstu, jer pacijenti s poremećajima hranjenja često doživljavaju poremećaje u percipiranju vlastitog tijela, identiteta i vrijednosti.

Liječenje pacijenata s poremećajima hranjenja predstavlja velik izazov. Također, otpor pacijenata prema promjenama i teškoće u razumijevanju vlastite bolesti otežavaju terapijski rad. Terapija je dugotrajna i zahtijeva strpljenje, kontinuiranu podršku i ponavljanje ključnih koncepata. Individualizirani pristup, uspostavljanje radnog saveza s pacijentom i razvoj zdravih mehanizama suočavanja s emocijama ključni su za postizanje održivih rezultata.

Abstract (english)

Eating disorders are complex mental disorders that have undergone significant changes and evolution during the 21st century. Recent research emphasizes the association of these disorders with other mental conditions such as personality disorders, suicidality, self-harm, mentalization deficits, and self-disorder. Understanding this interconnectedness is crucial for providing adequate support to patients with eating disorders and achieving successful outcomes in their treatment.

Frequently, patients with eating disorders demonstrate deficits in mentalization, which refers to difficulties in understanding their own and others' thoughts, emotions, and intentions. This can hinder the development of healthy interpersonal relationships and the formation of a positive self-perception. Moreover, self-disorder plays a pivotal role in this context, as patients with eating disorders often experience disturbances in perceiving their own body, identity, and values.

Treating patients with eating disorders presents significant challenges. Additionally, patient resistance to change and difficulties in understanding their own illness impede therapeutic progress. Therapy is a long-term process that requires patience, continuous support, and the repetition of key concepts. An individualized approach, establishing a therapeutic alliance with the patient, and developing healthy coping mechanisms for emotions are essential in achieving sustainable results.
