Purpose
We establish hypotheses referring to the work of psychoanalysts’ who are confronted by the drive violence that characterizes the sudden emergence of the body within de psychoanalytical setting.
Procedures
The clinical experience of the authors with a small child provides the theoretical basis for analysis of the role of the body. Three different clinical situations are then transferentially analyzed.
Conclusions
The presence of the psychoanalyst is linked to his desire. The body of the psychoanalyst allows is open to actualization, in transference, of displacement from an imaginary Self towards a symbolic Self in which the subject emerges.
Desire of the analyst; transference; manifestation of the body; drive desintrication
