This book is based on the work done by a group of British and
Italian psychoanalysts who have been meeting twice yearly since
2003 to study clinically the relationship between the mind and the
body of their patients. The analytical dyad became the focus of a
dialectical movement between body and mind and between subject and
object. Containing contributions from a range of distinguished
British and Italian analysts, this book covers such key topics as
somatic symptoms, the embodied unconscious, bodily expressions of
affect, sexuality, violence, self-harm, suicide attempts,
hypochondria, hysteria, anorexia and bulimia, and splits and
fragmentation associated with the body. The theoretical
understanding is inspired by various psychoanalytic theoreticians,
including Freud, M. Klein, Winnicott and Bion and their theories on
sexuality, infantile sexuality, libido, aggressiveness, death
instinct, Oedipus complex and mother-child relationship. Offering
new advances in theoretical thinking and practical applications for
clinical work, this book will be essential for all psychoanalysts
and mental health clinicians interested in understanding serious
mental disturbance that is represented in the body.
