Abstract

LEITE, Eliana Borges Pereira. The analyst's body: clinic, investigation, imagination. J. psicanal. [online]. 2006, vol.39, n.71, pp. 79-99. ISSN 0103-5835.

This work deals with the presence of sensations and other bodily manifestations among the effects that listening produces in the analyst, following his associative processes and somehow related to what happens during the session. This effect shows up specially in those cases in which the difficulty to represent is at stake, but it may also happen in any analysis, in critical moments. To investigate these effects, an approach is suggested with the actor's work, whose body is the main instrument. Constantin Stanislavski's method provides the actor a way to built physical and psychological traits of a character as naturally as possible and is employed in a dialogue with Freud's advices about psychoanalytical practice so as to elucidate the presence of the analyst's body in the session.

Keywords : Listening; Body; Theater; Figurability (Representability).
