In anorexia nervosa the pain of hunger or, alternatively (in bulemia), of glut recalls Freud's aphorism that the man with toothache cannot fall in love. But object longing remains and stimulates such envy that the anorectic must project her wishes; she is not be found wanting. The use of projection, in turn, complicates self-other boundaries, with the result that she experiences not only people but even food as overpowering. This, then, excites more envy, indeed an envy so ruinous that self-starvation or compulsive evacuations are employed additionally to make reparation. Because all of this condenses into Less is More, the anorexic poses particular problems for analytic treatment, which is the subject of a companion paper.
在神经性厌食症中，饥饿之苦，或者（在贪食症中）暴饮暴食之苦，让人想起弗洛伊德的格言：牙痛之人无法坠入爱河。但对客体的渴望依然存在，并激发了如此强烈的嫉妒，以至于厌食者必须投射出自己的愿望；她不能被发现有所欠缺。反过来，投射的运用使自我与他人的界限变得复杂，结果是她不仅觉得人难以招架，甚至食物也是如此。这进而引发了更多的嫉妒，事实上是一种极具破坏性的嫉妒，以至于厌食者还会通过自我饥饿或强迫性排泄来进行弥补。因为所有这些都浓缩成了“少即是多”，厌食症患者给精神分析治疗带来了特殊的问题，这是一篇配套论文的主题。
