ABSTRACT

Psychoanalysis demands the presence of the analyst’s body and that of the person in pain who comes asking for less pain. Psychoanalysis is a long inner journey that allows, through the roads opened by the work of cure towards the depths of one’s unconscious, to reweave the links of life, of one’s desire and of one’s word internally and to be born at last as a subject. From birth to death, the human being has to deal with loss: a loss that must be accepted, to surpass oneself, to symbolize oneself in order to allow the possibility of transformation and to create something new. Focusing only on behaviour of individuals by neglecting or denying the question amputates the subject of an essential dimension of life. Our era is marked by the denial of death, and the stacked dead bodies of the current health crisis must not be seen, but the death hidden in daytime resurfaces in thought and dream imagery.
