This paper addresses how psychoanalytic field theory models approach mind/body concepts and how this impacts clinical technique. Questions about the relationship, integration or reduction of the body and mind are approached theoretically by philosophers. For psychoanalysts the issues are saliently clinical. Field theory as developed by Baranger and Baranger, Ferro, and Levenson portray an evolution of field theory models that began employing a mind/body distinction, to offering techniques to bridge the divide between mind and body, and finally to a holistic model and technique. Performance art, a clinical example, and focus on specific clinical techniques are offered to support the discussion. | | MP3 | | $15.00 | | $15.00 | |
