Minding the Body: The Body in Psychoanalysis and Beyond outlines
the value of a psychoanalytic approach to understanding the body
and its vicissitudes and for addressing these in the context of
psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. The chapters cover
a broad but esoteric range of subjects that are not often discussed
within psychoanalysis such as the function of breast augmentation
surgery, the psychic origins of hair, the use made of the analyst's
toilet, transsexuality and the connection between dermatological
conditions and necrophilic fantasies. The book also reaches 'beyond
the couch' to consider the nature of reality television makeover
show. The book is based on the Alessandra Lemma's extensive
clinical experience as a psychoanalyst and psychologist working in
a range of public and private health care settings with patients
for whom the body is the primary presenting problem or who have
made unconscious use of the body to communicate their psychic pain.
Minding the Body draws on detailed clinical examples that vividly
illustrate how the author approaches these clinical presentations
in the consulting room and, as such, provides insights to the
practicing clinician that will support their attempts at
formulating patients' difficulties psychoanalytically and for how
to helps such patients. It will be essential reading for
psychoanalysts, psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health
workers, academics and literary readers interested in the body,
sexuality and gender.
