This essay aims to demonstrate my understanding of two psychological theories and how these two theories relate to eating disorders. The psychodynamic theory would say that eating disorders are developed through childhood experiences and are used as a defence mechanism. The psychodynamic theory was developed in the 20th century by Sigmund Freud and he stated that the personality is made of 3 parts‚ the ID‚ which is responsible for instincts and pleasure seeking‚ the SUPEREGO which tries to obey

It looks at what the client is feeling and what motivates what they do.
