Kohut viewed the primary phase of the baby's existence in the mother's mind as its \u201cvirtual conception.\u201d On this foundation, the author uses the notion of \u201cvirtual selfobject\u201d to understand the impaired will to exist in patients with anorexia and describes how the therapist may embrace a standpoint that creates a space-for-being for the patient, facilitating the reactivation of self needs in the transference. The notion of virtuality thus entails a future perspective, which ostensibly foretells or creates the potential future emergence of the patient's self. This conceptualization and its application are illustrated through a life-restoring therapy with a patient hospitalized with a life-threatening eating disorder. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1521\/prev.2023.110.2.133","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,1]],"date-time":"2023-06-01T13:28:30Z","timestamp":1685626110000},"page":"133-160","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Virtual Selfobject Presence: Future Orientation in the Treatment of Eating Disorders"],"prefix":"10.1521","volume":"110","author":[{"given":"Inbar","family":"Sharav Ifergan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"E-mail:"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"377","reference":[{"key":"ref1","volume-title":"Live company: Psychoanalytic psychotherapy with autistic, borderline, deprived and abused children","author":"Alvarez A.","year":"1992"},{"key":"ref2","volume-title":"On the lyricism of the mind: Psychoanalysis and literature","author":"Amir D.","year":"2016"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref3","first-page":"268","volume":"36","author":"Amir D.","year":"2022","journal-title":"Sichot"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10481885.2015.1034554"},{"key":"ref5","volume-title":"The fear of occupying space: Self psychology in the treatment of anorexia and bulimia","author":"Bachar E.","year":"2002"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/eat.10003"},{"key":"ref7","first-page":"223","volume-title":"Using self psychology in psychotherapy","author":"Barth D.","year":"1991"},{"key":"ref8","first-page":"125","volume":"10","author":"Ferenczi S.","year":"1929","journal-title":"International Journal of Psycho-Analysis"},{"key":"ref9","first-page":"141","volume-title":"The standard edition of the complete psychological works of Sigmund Freud","volume":"9","author":"Freud S.","year":"1908"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1521\/jaap.1.1989.17.1.5"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1163\/9789004459014"},{"key":"ref12","first-page":"205","volume-title":"Handbook of treatment for eating disorders","author":"Goodsitt A.","year":"1997"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00797308.1963.11822932"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref14","first-page":"205","volume":"24","author":"Kogan C.","year":"2010","journal-title":"Sichot"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref15","first-page":"276","volume":"25","author":"Kogan C.","year":"2011","journal-title":"Sichot"},{"key":"ref16","volume-title":"The restoration of the self","author":"Kohut H.","year":"1977"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7208\/chicago\/9780226006147.001.0001"},{"key":"ref18","first-page":"215","volume-title":"Self psychology and the humanities","author":"Kohut H.","year":"1985"},{"key":"ref19","first-page":"73","volume-title":"Self-psychology and the humanities","author":"Kohut H.","year":"1985"},{"key":"ref20","first-page":"227","volume-title":"Heinz Kohut: The Chicago Institute lectures","author":"Kohut H.","year":"1996"},{"key":"ref21","first-page":"333","volume-title":"Heinz Kohut: The Chicago Institute lectures","author":"Kohut H.","year":"1996"},{"key":"ref22","first-page":"413","volume":"59","author":"Kohut H.","year":"1978","journal-title":"International Journal of Psychoanalysis"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref23","first-page":"84","volume":"12","author":"Kulka R.","year":"1998","journal-title":"Sichot"},{"key":"ref24","first-page":"13","volume-title":"How does analysis cure?","author":"Kulka R.","year":"2005"},{"key":"ref25","first-page":"16","volume":"41","author":"Loewald H.
