In ‘Noises and Silences in Search of Object’, the author the author attempts to address the central question of sensoriality in the world of arts and the development of the human being from birth. Noises and silences determine the rhythms that create music, that make music. In the same way, in the baby's primary relationship with its maternal object, rhythms create its psychic life, its subjectivity, its being. The world of art is a marvellous example of the vital importance of sensory-motor activity in the development of a thinking being, long before words or the organisation of spoken language begin to structure the inner issues of psychic life. Psychoanalysts interested in psychosomatics clearly foresaw this dynamic when they defined the importance of sensory-motor identification in the transference-countertransference relationship in therapies with patients suffering from organic pathologies.
