The author explores the theme of the body in psychoanalysis, focusing on the complex mind/body split and its role in psychic suffering. He argues that this split originates from a strict Superego, often formed when the child does not feel recognized, leading to the creation of a “false self.” This split results in the neglect of bodily needs, with defenses built around rationality, contributing to suffering. The role of the body in psychoanalytic ontology is highlighted, showing how psychic suffering reflects breaks in the emotional fabric connecting individuals. Drawing from Bion's work, the author emphasizes the importance of affect in psychoanalysis, proposing that emotion, deeply tied to bodily experiences, is a key element in meaning-making. The therapeutic task, he therefore asserts, involves reintegrating the psyche with the body by creating a nurturing emotional environment. Finally, the author reflects on the challenges and potentials of teleanalysis, suggesting that while physical presence enhances therapy, the essence of psychoanalysis remains intact even at a distance.
