This is how severe psychosomatic disorders arise.Ī living psychoanalytic narrative that expands the horizons of knowledge about psychosomatic disorders. Such experiences are not expressed in words - instead of the psyche, the body speaks here. These deadly emotions pose a real threat to the survival of the infant and are therefore thrown out of consciousness without the slightest mental processing. Helplessness, fear of loneliness, emptiness and disappearance, primitive anger - the feelings that a baby experiences if it does not find a response in the mother's soul - become unbearable for him. The book is dedicated to the work of a psychoanalyst with those who suffer from the absence of affects in their lives, who cannot experience deep feelings and emotions. McDougall looks at people who react to psychological distress through somatic manifestations, and at the psychosomatic potential of individuals in those moments when habitual psychological ways of coping are overwhelmed, and the body pantomimes the mind's distress. Deep and often painful experiences remain in the soul of every person, and it is they that determine the further course of personality development.
In his new book, Joyce McDougall, the eminent contemporary psychoanalyst, my teacher, friend and colleague, touches upon the earliest, primary relationship between the infant and the mother. Andrei Rossokhin read for us a book by Joyce McDougall "Theaters of the Body"
