Abstract

TABACOF, Diana. Psychoanalytic psychosomatics today: the instinctual model (drive theory) of the Paris School. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2016, vol.50, n.2, pp. 94-107. ISSN 0486-641X.

The author outlines, in a historical perspective, the guidelines for the theoretical and clinical framework of the Paris Psychosomatic School, starting from its foundation - in the Sixties - until nowadays. By studying Pierre Marty's follower's recent works, the author presents Marty's thinking. Marty was the pioneer of the psychoanalytic psychosomatics. The author also links Marty's thinking to the post-1920 Freudian drive theory, and to the balances between life drive and destructiveness. This emphasis places Marty's work within the contemporary French psychoanalytic movement. Disturbances of the psychosomatic economy are formulated in light of the trauma issue, the object's function, and the risk of instinctual extrication, and disorganization of the subject. The failures in the processes of psychic elaboration (mentalization) which are typical of somatosis lie on the failures of the connection between affect and representation.

Keywords : excitation; drive; instinctual extrication; somatization; affect; representation.
