Intercorporeality and the Transference Phenomenon
A Reading Through Merleau-Ponty
Abstract
This article aims to propose elements to understand the role of corporeality in the transference phenomenon based on the articulation between psychoanalytic listening and two ideas from Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy: the concepts of body schema and intercorporeality. The transference relationship is revisited through the lens of Merleau-Ponty’s thesis that our relationships with others are based on a corporeal, unconscious, and libidinal infrastructure. We hope to present a possible reading and complementation tool to elucidate the intercorporeal substrate present in the transference neurosis revealed by Freud.
