Focusing on a clinical case, this article highlights the function of genealogical thinking involving somatopsychic unity in its symbolic and subjectivising dimension for the Hindu subject. It provides an opportunity to question genealogy as a universal object of transmission along the lines of Legendre (1985), as guarantor of fundamental taboos. But the taboo of the fusion between mother and child is also addressed, this being according to Lacan (1984) the first fantasy of incest with the mother. This emphasises the subjectivation of loss, of separation, as organiser of this taboo. This clinical case also sheds light on what continues to hold back the drive and sensual pleasure in our contemporary society, as well as intracultural clinical practice and its effects on transfer.
