Is it possible to conceive the mind as a process that come from the body but not reduced to it? We assume that Freud developed an energetic perspective of psychism approximating cerebral operations from the meaning dimension that besides being near to the modern scientific theory of self-organization discuss the traditional dualistic mind-body definition. Freud´s body concept is a vivid and multidimensional category differing from the paradigmatic body concept and this conflict is the point that we want to go deeper here. There is, nowadays, a dominancy of biological knowledge in mind´s studies and we concluded that the Freudian contribution that stress the impossibility of transforming body experience to language entirely permit to acquire a new rationality about mind-body relationship.
