The relationship that interconnects present-day therapies (those said to be based on “corporeal mediation”) and psychoanalysis is known. Faced with the rampant dictatorship of evaluation, these psycho-corporal practices need, like most therapeutic provisions, to implement new procedures to prove their true relevance. Are these procedures condemned to constantly swing back and forth between a methodologically reassuring “corporeal” dimension and an intangible and ineffable “psychic” side? The case of relaxation provides an illustration of the issues at stake in such a predicament, suggesting that, in the current context, the logic of intersubjectivity should prevail.
