I had a referral the other day about a nine year old female who eats feces. She has sexualized and very aggressive behaviors as well. I suggested she is engaging in the behavior as a way to keep others away. We also discussed the possibility that she uses the behavior for its shock value but I think the motivation is deeper than that. What have others discovered in their work with this particular behavior? Thanks in advance for any help!
