This presentation will embrace the contemporary model of psychosomatics that regards the psyche and body as a unified whole. The body is one possible channel for the emergence of unconscious material, which can be understood and engaged like any other manifestation of the unconscious. Hence, each bodily symptom is embraced like a dream which tells us something about the unconscious of the patient. As well ass other theories, this talk will explore Jung’s concept of the body as shadow and as the subtle body. We will focus on developing sensitivity to somatic information as a means of understanding and interpreting unconscious interaction in the analytic field.
