| Résumé : | Objectives : Bulimia nervosa (BN) is a common psychiatric disorder among adolescent girls with potentially significant complications. Family relationships play a major role in the development and progression of this disorder. Studies in migrant populations suffering from eating disorders show contrasting results depending on the generation of migrants: first generation migrants have fewer eating disorders than the native population, while the prevalence of this disorder is more important than the latter among second and third generation migrants. In our clinical experience, we have frequently encountered so-called “mixed” families, which are families composed of one migrant parent and one non-migrant parent. Research focusing on this kind of family is scarce which is why we chose to explore their dynamic. Methods : This study explored the issues around food and family relationships of adolescent girls suffering from BN, a topic that, to date, has not yet been studied. Ten interviews were conducted with five adolescent girls with BN between the ages of 16 and 20 and their parents, using photo-elicitation to enrich the collected data. Results : The results were organized around two axes: (1) identity issues around food, that is the assimilation process described by both parents and adolescents concerning family meals and food habits, and how the adolescents struggle to manage this interbreeding; and (2) transmission issues with the consequences the migrant parent has to deal with to transmit his/her cultural identity with food while being far away from the homeland, and the difficulties between this parent and his/her child to share this heritage. Both issues, identity and transmission, appear to be central among these families. Conclusions : Our results suggest a difficulty in mentalizing identity issues in adolescent girls; the function of appeasement around non-mentalized tensions was highlighted. In our opinion, in this particular context, BN acts as a means of expressing the difficulty of their mixed culture. This enables it to draw some clinical implications, especially using mentalization-based therapy which has already shown efficacy in adolescents with borderline personality disorder and ED.
