Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Virtual Intimacy and Communication
in Film brings together a group of psychoanalysts to explore,
through film, the new forms of communication, mainly the internet,
that enter more and more frequently into the affective lives of
people, their intimacy and even the analytic room. The
contributors, all practising psychoanalysts, analyse the potential
and surprising transformations that human relationships, including
psychoanalysis, are undergoing. At present, it is difficult to
value the future importance and predict the possible disquieting
consequences of the use and abuse of the new technologies; we run
the risk of finding ourselves unprepared to face this revolutionary
transformation in human connections and affects. Will it be
possible in a near future that human beings prefer to fall in love
with a machine gifted with a persuasive voice instead of a
psychoanalyst 'in person'? The contributors explore the idea that
virtual intimacy could begin to replace real life, in sentimental
and psychoanalytic relationships. Imagination and fantasy may be
strengthened and may ultimately prevail over the body, excluding it
entirely. Can the voice of the analyst, sometimes transmitted only
by telephone or computer, produce a good enough analytic process as
if it were in-person, or will it help to foster a process of
idealisation and progressive alienation from real life and
connections with other human beings? The film Her (2013), alongside
others, offers a wonderful script for discussing this matter,
because of the deep and thoughtful examination of love and
relationships in the contemporary world that it provides.
Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Virtual Intimacy and Communication
in Film will be of great interest to all psychoanalysts and
psychoanalytic psychotherapists interested in the ongoing impact of
technology on human relationships.
