Customising the Body: From Omnipotence to Autonomy - A Lemma
About
This paper focus' on psychoanalytic work with patients who are preoccupied with, and deeply distressed by, the appearance of their bodies. They may see ‘ugly’ in the mirror, or they may see an alien reflection that is not experienced as ‘me’. This may lead them to undertake cosmetic and surgical procedures. Psychoanalysts are predisposed to view the culture of body modification with some considerable suspicion, squarely focusing on the risks associated with the enactment of an omnipotent phantasy.Location
