| Extra Info | : | Turning our mind to the body: corporeal countertransference and intersubjectivity Susie Orbach Corporeality is often thought of as devolving naturally from our DNA. Psychoanalysis has historically proposed that distress in the mind is written on the body so that there is a psychosomatic exchange between mental distress and physical symptoms. Today's body disturbances and practices from eating problems to self harm to cosmetic surgery are alerting us to a more complex need to understand where we get a body and the terms in which it is made. Susie will suggest that everything that we think of as 'natural' is the outcome of social, intersubjective processes in which bodies are made, in culture and through the mother-baby relationship. Susie will use examples from her clinical practice as a psychoanalyst to highlight the ways in which bodies today occupy a position which is destabilised. The body today has become both an elusive object and a trouble, but rarely the place the individual lives from. Susie Orbach is a psychoanalyst and writer.
