Affetti e psicoanalisi: una questione imbarazzante e scomoda

Abstract

I propose to consider the processing taking place for some years into the bioenergetic community, as part of the tradition on the paradigm shift - tradition started in the 70s of last century - and as a discourse of legitimation in the frame of the present historical stage, called late modernity and reflexive modernity. In this perspective, I develop some historical and epistemological thoughts; I propose, in particular, to use the term body to identify the psychotherapy stream in which bioenergetic analysis is the most important component.
