Have you ever been praised or criticized about your body or any
part of it? With this question, participants of a research study
were invited to share their experiences of body judgment. As
participants described, the body is a carrier of messages and the
source of judgmental experiences. Psychoanalytic Perspectives on
Gaze, Body Image, Shame, Judgment and Maternal Function: Being and
Belonging offers an insightful and engaging psychoanalytical
account of experiences of shame and fear of rejection, explained
through clinical vignettes and research participants' scripts.
Exploring the findings from the individual and social standpoints,
as well as the cultural and historical influences, Dr. Roth
proposes that judgements are experienced as attacks, with the
meaning attributed to the criticized body part, affecting the sense
of self and forming a central point of the participants' identity
trauma. Furthermore, that as guilt requires reparative action,
shame requires an act of sacrifice to align the individual to the
ideal and to preserve the matrix of belonging, thus explaining the
participants' use of alienation as a defense. This book will be of
great interest to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, as well as
scholars of culture and religion. Giving a brief introduction to
psychoanalytic concepts, with a full glossary, it will also appeal
to the non-psychoanalytic reader, interested in body image and how
related perceptions and judgements can affect our own sense of
Being and Belonging.
