The case vignette at hand depicts the syndrome shift from puberty anorexia nervosa to a conversion syndrome (localized pain syndrome). The development conditions are described and treatment-technical implications named. The author discusses under psychoanalytical viewpoint in how far the symptom shift goes along with a structural change from a lower to a higher developmental level, whereby this is viewed under the causes which influence the disease process.
