Eating behavior is viewed not only as a set of symptoms but also as a way of maintaining a specific life logic linked to conditional self-worth, shame, control, internalized parental messages, and deficits in emotional regulation. The concepts of ego states, contamination of the Adult, drivers, script patterns (“Until”, “After”, “Almost”, and “Never”), as well as Berne’s concepts of hungers and time structuring, are used to describe the persistence of eating symptoms beyond their behavioral expression. Special attention is given to family food introjects, sociocultural pressure, and emotional illiteracy as factors that contribute to the maintenance of disordered eating. The place of cognitive therapy is also discussed: for some clients with deeply script-laden and self-destructive forms of eating disorders, cognitive techniques may be especially useful at the final stage of psychotherapy as a means of consolidating achieved changes, but not as a substitute for script analysis. This perspective does not deny the multifactorial nature of eating disorders; rather, it helps to specify some of the psychological mechanisms involved in their development and maintenance.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье предлагается транзактно-аналитическая модель понимания расстройств пищевого поведения как части более широкой сценарной организации личности. Пищевое поведение рассматривается не только как набор симптомов, но и как форма поддержания жизненной логики, связанной с условной ценностью, Я, стыдом, контролем, внутренними родительскими предписаниями и дефицитом эмоциональной регуляции. Показано, что понятия эго-состояний, контаминации Взрослого, драйверов, сценарных паттернов «Пока не», «После», «Почти» и «Никогда», а также концепции голода по поглаживаниям и структурирования времени позволяют описывать устойчивость пищевого симптома глубже, чем его поведенческое описание. Особое внимание уделяется роли семейных пищевых интроектов, культурного и социального давления, а также эмоциональной неграмотности в поддержании НПП (нарушений пищевого поведения). Отдельно обсуждается место когнитивной терапии: у части клиентов с глубоко сценарно-нагруженными формами НПП когнитивные техники могут быть особенно полезны на завершающей стадии как способ закрепления достигнутых изменений, но не как замена анализа сценарной логики. Такой подход не отменяет многофакторности НПП, а позволяет уточнить психологические механизмы их формирования и поддержания.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>transactional analysis</kwd><kwd>life script</kwd><kwd>eating disorders</kwd><kwd>ego states</kwd><kwd>drivers</kwd><kwd>alexithymia</kwd><kwd>emotion regulation</kwd><kwd>family introjects</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>транзактный анализ</kwd><kwd>жизненный сценарий</kwd><kwd>расстройства пищевого поведения</kwd><kwd>эго-состояния</kwd><kwd>драйверы</kwd><kwd>алекситимия</kwd><kwd>эмоциональная регуляция</kwd><kwd>семейные интроекты</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Alexithymia and emotion recognition over the treatment course in adolescents and emerging adults with anorexia nervosa / M.
