Plunged into the experience of an analytic session, analysand and
analyst can come closer to what Freud terms the "primary
processes." A clear-cut distinction between body and mind tends to
become blurred while the bodily-egos of both protagonists are more
effectively present to each other. How deeply can they affect each
other, and can the transformational working through of the drives
give access to potential transformations not only within the
dimension of the erogeneous body but also of the soma?This book
explores these complex issues from a number of different
perspectives: the clinical approach of patients with somatic
diseases; the metapsychology of the analyst at work, including
different aspects and functions of formal regression; the function
of figurability of certain bodily enactments; the specific use the
analyst can make of his own subjectivity (relationship between
subjectivity and neutrality) and how this leads to a specific way
of thinking about intersubjectivity in psychoanalysis; and the way
in which some works of art can enrich how we confront the
body-mind-soma issue in our analytic experiences with our
patients.An attempt to erase the body from our field of
investigation, not only the erogeneous body of infantile sexuality
but also the body of soma, is active in every psychoanalytic
culture. The author, who was trained in France, draws on Lacan and
examines the way in which he progressively tried to disembody the
theory and practice of psychoanalysis. He also argues that
psychoanalysts could have a mutually enriching dialogue with
neuro-biologists, not denying their differences of approach, but
rather stemming out of them.
