The conflict and dissociation between the Body and the Mind have determinant implications in the context of our current clinical practice and are an important source of internal and relational disturbances. Body-Mind Dissociation in Psychoanalysis proposes the concept as a new hypothesis different from traumatic dissociation or states of splitting. This approach opens the door to a clinical confrontation with extreme forms of mental disturbance such as psychosis or borderline disorders and strengthens the relational power of the analytic encounter through a focus on the internal sensory/emotional axis in both analyst and analysand. The book details this importance of the analystâs intrasubjective relationship with the analysand in constructing new developmental horizons starting from the body-mind exchange of the two participants. Body-Mind Dissociation in Psychoanalysis will be of use to students beginners in psychotherapy mental health practitioners and seasoned psychoanalysts. . Language: English
