CICCO, Marina Fibe De  e  MIGLIAVACCA, Eva Maria. Hearing with the eyes, speaking with the body: considerations on the listening and the technique in the psychoanalytic clinical practice. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2016, vol.50, n.2, pp. 108-121. ISSN 0486-641X.

Psychoanalytic research has shown certain patients turn to sensoriality, actions, and the body in order to avoid the emergence of anxiety. Working with such dimensions requires rethinking the clinical practice and the psychoanalyst's function. This paper attempts to show bodily manifestations, gestures, and actions should be taken as part of the associative chain. The author makes considerations on the technique by exploring clinical vignettes in which interpretations should happen after the construction of the subject's basic psychic structures. The authors' purpose is to elucidate the following issues: how to communicate verbally with the patient when the more accessible way of communication for him (or her) does not go through the verbal channels? Is it still an interpretation? If so, does it allow transcending the integration of the repressed? Lastly, the authors demonstrate the analyst's body can be interpretative - its gestures, actions, and all its expressive power may be essential to the process of symbolization.

Palavras-chave : body; symbolization; psychoanalytic technique; interpretation.
