The Outline of the Hands: A Projection of a Psychic and Physical Ego
Type de matériel :
11
Based on the clinical treatment of young children, the author considers the line of the hands, with regard to seeking the mother's eyes in the mirror, as the projection of a first internal psychic boundary with a bodily anchoring. Lines of the hands attest the internalisation of early connections, the play of intra-bodily identifications and differentiations from the mother's psychised body. This line of the hands signals a subjectivating differentiation between self and other. This work illustrates the idea put forward by F. Coblence, which is based on the developmental process of an ego that forms part of a lengthy task of separation from the mother's body.
