Eating Disorder

Eating Disorder Treatment in Paris

Eating disorders in Paris carry a particular dimension. The culture of food, appearance, and the body — part of what makes Paris Paris — can be genuinely hostile for someone struggling with an eating disorder. The visibility of thinness as aesthetic. The centrality of eating in social life. The pressure on bodies in a city where fashion operates as a public language.

Dr Jacquet is the only practitioner in Europe with doctoral research specifically on male eating disorders. He treats all presentations — anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, orthorexia — in men and women, in English and French.

The Clinical Approach

Eating disorders are not dietary problems or matters of willpower. They are disorders of identity, emotion, and psychological structure requiring depth clinical work. CBT has a role and its limits. A symptom displaced is not a symptom resolved. The approach here addresses the structure beneath the symptom.
