Adolescents suffering from anorexia nervosa regularly describe conflicting sibling relationships. The Brothers Grimm tale Hansel and Gretel features a pair of siblings confronted with family issues similar to those found in eating disorders. A compendium of human experience accumulated since the dawn of time, fairy tales hold knowledge about the human psyche, which has served as a framework for generations of children who have reconstructed themselves before sleep. This study aims to uncover sibling psychopathological issues in eating disorders through the prism of this tale. It turns out that five major issues emerge: separation issues, devouring anxieties, the differentiating process, emptiness anxiety, and finally the one that seems to be the most central, although less explicit: the outcome through the adelphic link. The discussion on the psychic solution contained in the tale is illustrated by clinical vignettes.
