A Psychoanalytic Exploration of the Body in Today's World: On the
Body examines the importance of the body in everyday psychoanalytic
practice and beyond. Written by world leading clinicians and
international scholars, this important book aims to relocate the
psychoanalytic body in the modern, more challenging world. Bringing
together perspectives from across the range of psychoanalytic
schools of thought, it covers essential analytic topics such as
family and parenting, sex and gender, illness and psychosomatics,
and concepts of the body in infancy. Though in Freud's writing the
intertwining of body and psyche is fundamental, psychoanalytic
thought has sometimes downplayed or ignored this idea. This book
returns the body to its rightful place in psychoanalysis, and
brings the body into the contemporary world of technology and
change, offering fresh insight into the sick body, the sexual body,
the speaking body, the body of the changing family in which the
traditional gendered labels no longer fit seamlessly, gender
dynamics and much more. A Psychoanalytic Exploration of the Body in
Today's World gives renewed and increased emphasis to an essential
tenant of psychoanalysis. With contributions from some of the most
important modern psychoanalysts, this book will prove an essential
work for both psychotherapists and academics.
