          Abstract

          El caso Ellen West se publicó antes que se describiera la anorexia nerviosa como entidad nosológica y previo al nacimiento de la bioética. El presente estudio busca comprender las conductas morales que Binswanger adoptó de acuerdo a la ética médica tradicional. Tres dimensiones resaltan: formación de un pacto firme basado en la confianza, juicios prudentes y las virtudes entendidas como excelencias personales determinantes del diálogo psicoterapéutico. Además, él respetó el secreto profesional, la comunicación de terapias alternativas y construyó un diálogo fundamentado en decir y descubrir la verdad. El suicidio final fue previsto por él, y lo acató como la elección de un proyecto de existencia aunque fracasado.

          Translated abstract

          The case of Ellen West was published before anorexia nervosa was conceived as a clinical entity and previous to the birth of bioethics. This study seeks to understand the moral issues that Binswanger followed according to traditional medical ethics. Three dimensions are outstanding: formation of a firm pact based on trust, prudent judgments and virtues as personal excellences, which shaped the psychotherapeutic dialogue. In addition, he respected the professional secrecy, communication of alternative therapies and a dialogue based on saying and uncovering the truth. The final suicide was foreseen but he respected it as a choice of a project of existence although failed.
