| Summary or Abstract

There has been an increase in the examination of the impact of the therapist's pregnancy on her patients over the last 30 years. This research has greatly aided the many therapists who continue to treat patients during their pregnancies. There has been little research, however, examining the impact of the therapist's pregnancy upon various diagnostic categories. In particular, there are only two articles at present (Katzman, 1993, 1994) that discuss the dynamics present in the dyad of the pregnant therapist and the eating disorder patient. While these are informative works, neither article discusses the treatment of the eating disorder patient by a pregnant therapist according to a particular theoretical orientation. The contribution to the literature that this thesis attempts to make is the examination of the relationship of the pregnant therapist and the eating disorder patient from two different theoretical vantage points. In particular, there is an examination of the course of therapy, potential transference manifestations and therapeutic issues highlighted by self psychology and object relations perspectives..
