    Summary :

    In this paper the anorexia nervosa is evaluated in psychoanalytical terms and is investigated with the projective tests of Rorschach and TAT, in terms of the telescoping of generations. The transgenerational quality of the identification, the problems in identification and the narsisistic attitude and fragility in the eating disordered patients are accepted as a unique characteristic. The theory of Faimberg and the telescoping of generations is also viewed as a reason in the development of this pathology in the patient who is accepted as the narsisistic extension of the prior generations especially the mothers'.
