Contemporary psychoanalysis has devoted so much of its attention to
relational and interpersonal aspects of psychic life that questions
have begun to emerge regarding the place of the body and bodily
experience in our psychological worlds. "Relational Perspectives on
the Body" addresses these questions in exemplary fashion.
Contemporary relational theorists synthesize a variety of
theoretical trends and influences - including feminism and
postmodernism - in order to provide innovative relational models of
psyche-soma integration. Throughout the book, contributors pay
attention to the analysand's and the analyst's experiences as they
devise original technical responses to the multifaceted ways in
which bodily experiences enter into the relational matrix of
psychoanalytic treatment. In the process, contributors take up
subjects that are seldom addressed in the clinical literature,
including breast cancer in the analyst, psychoanalytic treatment of
Munchausen's Syndrome, physical deformity, and musculoskeletal back
pain. The final three chapters, by Looker, Balamuth, and Anderson,
respectively, grew out of a study group that continues to
investigate the relationship between somatic and symbolized
experience.
The editors are well equipped to undertake this project. Lewis Aron
is a leading relational theorist and clinical analyst, and Frances
Sommer Anderson has employed a psychoanalytically informed approach
to treating musculoskeletal back pain and other somatic symptoms
for 18 years. The editors have enlisted original contributions from
an excellent group of colleagues, placing Relational Perspectives
on the Body at the forefront of the revival of interest in the body
and bodilyexperience in psychoanalytic theory and practice.
