What psychosexual stage would describe bulimia nervosa, and why? (Example Demi Lovatos eating disorder) Thinking it would be oral..?

This dissertation explores the roles of food in anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. The methodology used is a modified systematic literature review. This study examines how food becomes involved in the development of both anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Empathic failures in the early care-giving environment result in many developmental arrests, including a lack of self-regulatory skills, inability to symbolize, and more importantly deficits in self cohesion. In the absence of symbolization, the eating disordered patient perceives food, the first bridge between a mother and her child, as a representation of the mother together with her love and care. The relationship between the patient suffering from anorexia nervosa and her mother is usually described as engulfing, leaving no room for the daughter to separate and individuate. The patient’s refusal of food is, in essence, a way of establishing a sense of self, an attempt to separate from the mother in order to survive psychically. For the patient suffering from bulimia nervosa, her mother is often described as passive and rejecting. The mother of the bulimic patient is not necessarily cold, but the care-giving relationship often lacks warmth and nurturing elements. From the self-psychology perspective, inadequate self-cohesion means the patient constantly relies on food or disordered eating to provide the self-object functions necessary for the maintenance of self-cohesion. The failure to get her self-object needs met by human beings during the early development also reinforces her dependence on the use of food, a reliable and controllable self-object. Treatment implications are discussed and recommendations for future research are explained.

None. Bulimia isn't born it's taught. Babies don't refuse food thats what they look for when they are born. They don't puke it up on command. Bulimia and anorexia is a trend. Not one person turned to bulimia or anorexia without seeing what it was on the internet or being told by some btich. If you took a person and let them grow in a room all alone I doubt they would do it unless they were fed with insults. Thats what the first person had to have gone through.

freud's theories have long been discredited

Idk what half of those words mean
