Obesity is a complex medical and psychosocial phenomenon. Historically, psychoanalysts have emphasized the notion that obese individuals have encountered a serious disturbance during the oral stage of psychosexual development. According to them, emotional deprivations or excesses in this stage of development somehow become associated with nourishment in the potentially obese individual, presumably, because the mother of the obese-prone child feeds it inappropriately in relationship to its emotional and nutritional needs. As a result, many obese children and adults fail to distinguish between hunger, satiation, and other sensations or emotions. Although there is an abundance of empirical observations, new findings, and a growing number of theories on the subject; there are not enough studies carried out by projective tests in obesity. In regard to this fact, Rorschach Test is applied to 15 obese adult women in order to define and understand psychic functioning of obesity and with a psycho-analytic perspective in a private hospital in İstanbul. In terms of this perspective, findings of this study which gives important information about mentalization processes, maternal and paternal identification, early object relations, affective world, defense mechanisms, libidinal and agressive impulses will be discussed to explore the psychodynamics of obesity.
