Cibo ed espressioni di disagio nei minorenni : la risposta istituzionale del territorio siciliano ai DCA.

The food, the relationship with it, is the territory in which from the earliest childhood begins to build the structure of what will then be the basis of the balancing of relationships between norm, wellness dimension, and individual fulfilment, self-reliant and hetero- detection regulation. Within this scenario, the attention is on the forms and terms in which the territory, here understood as the government of the territory and limited to the Region of Sicily, responds on the institutional level through the recognition and qualification on the legal level of a declination of the Eating Disorder (ED) as a social problem - with a specific focus on younger age. The attempt is to emulate food as a symbolic territory useful in exercising control forms and subjectivity building, highlighting the size of problems that accompany both the possibilities of analysis and the planning of possible interventions.
