Psychosexuality of a childless woman with an unfaithful husband as the couple ages
Type de matériel :
46
The psychological follow-up of a woman in her fifties offers an opportunity to explore the effects of the sick and ageing body on psychic life. Following an illness that remained minor but that was fraught with feminine and maternal issues, Toni learnt of her husband’s unfaithfulness and suffered a mental breakdown. The authors question how the psychoanalytically oriented psychologist can listen to the contemporaneous suffering of the body and the reality of disaffection and their unconscious determinations. The somatic realities of the marital scene are a portal to revisit past events with their emotional charge and unravel a narcissistic marital contract around performance and success.
