Idiomatic Expressions and Somatic Experience in Psychoanalysis
examines how verbal and non-verbal language is used in the
consulting room, and how those different modes of communication
interact to provide a more comprehensive picture of the patient's
relational world. It is the product of a comprehensive research
project exploring the affinity between idiomatic expressions and
somatic behaviors and symptoms. Idiomatic expressions are viewed as
bridging the gap between somatic sensations and mental experiences.
Ravit Raufman deals with one of the fundamental aspects in human
life- the way our behavior is governed by unconscious primary
experiences, suggesting methods by which to decipher patient
behaviors that are apparently detached and unreasonable. The first
part presents case studies of people who enact and revive verbal
idiomatic expressions through their behavior. The second describes
how therapists use non-verbal mechanisms, operating in their own
minds, to understand their patients' inner lives. Based on
relational and inter-subjective approaches in psychoanalysis, the
case studies illustrate the various ways in which the therapist's
subjective experience is "objectively" used to learn about
patients' subjective relational experience, so as to verbally
formulate experiences that are pre-verbal. Raufman combines
Freudian ideas regarding the affinity between somatic symptoms and
verbal expressions, with a contemporary relational perspective. The
book combines scientific findings with a narrative style, including
life-stories of various individuals, as well as a description of
the therapist's own subjective experience. This book will appeal to
clinical psychologists and psychoanalytic psychotherapists as well
as anyone interested in understanding human psyche and behavior.
