Description
Is eating food cooked from a patient’s recipe or wearing a sweater knit by another a therapeutic act? Psychoanalysts tend to protect themselves from envisioning the patient’s «body» in its concrete dimensions—colors, odors, sounds, and touch—as if it were a transgression. However, it can sometimes be more effective to sharpen the senses of the unconscious through one’s own perceptions. Gisèle Harrus-Révidi reinstates the therapeutic value of the analysis of the senses and deconstructs each of them to prove that there are no small subjects in psychoanalysis.
