Corpo somático e psiquismo na psicanálise: Uma relação de tensionalidade

Abstract

On this paper we present the hypothesis that the human condition, understood by psychoanalysis as the process of psychosexual constitution, would find what we designate 'somatic-psychic tension' as the dynamic particular to the process of subjectivity. The notion of sexual drive, as a borderline term between the somatic and the psychic dimensions, is the axis which allows us to surpass the dualistic logic between soma and psyche, two terms that can't be understood as independent entities, but only in their simultaneous articulation-disjunction.
