This article presents a discussion between the theory of the generalized seduction of J. Laplanche and psychosomatics theorizations on the body. The analysis reveals that including the body in the genealogy of seduction questions the existence of psychic topics based on splitting. The hypothesis of a topic structured by the psychic mechanism of splitting underlines the coexistence of heterogeneous sectors of the mind. The discussion insists on the importance of defending a theory of the thought based on the translating model in its relations with the body.
