ABSTRACT

In the present paper it is shown the importance that research over the body and its construction has on psychoanalysis according to the different clinical structures. The body is a linguistics creation. The Other and the others are the ones who participate in their construction and humanization. It is through the language of the Other and the others how we obtain our representation of the body image, is the very great substance of our “id”, since we are not the body of flesh and bone, we are what we feel and see of our body. Our “id” is the intimate idea that we forge or our body, meaning, the mental representation of our corporal experiences. We have the feeling of been “my”-self when we feel and see our living body. The “id” is compound of two body images, different but indissociable: mental image of our corporal experiences and the specular image of our body. To feel that our body lives and watch it moving in the mirror produce us the incomparable feeling of being “me”. Is its image what one loves, rejects, attacks, humiliates. It’s the body what one attacks with sickness or hysterical symptoms and even delirious. This relation between id-body-image transforms throughout our whole lives and without us noticing. In particular cases, such as psychosis, the anorectic suffers alterations, the anorectic is prey of the delusional conviction of feeling and selfwatch obese. She has the absolute certainty of being fat and corpulent, particularly in the thigh zone and hips. Many anorectic get stubborn in deleting the slightest feminine curve and in tuning their bodies until there’s nothing material, ethereal, leaving it substance-empty. They walk toward the silhouette of a cadaver that can never arouse anyone’s desire, more than the horror of standing in front of this figure sinister of death. This acuteness that leave the bones to be seen, “the skull”, the skeleton, is like the self-image of death. But it is also the only way that possess to be able to born as a desire subject outside the wish of the mother.
