- 2022.

Sensoriality and spaces are shaken up in remote family therapy, the authors analyze the effects on the basis of a few PFT sessions. In the absence of the real bodies, they show a mobilization of a certain sensoriality, traces of archaic deposits, accentuated by the alternation induced by the device. A hallucinatory work infiltrates the exchanges. Video PFT induces specific transferential processes from the self-reflexivity of the gaze, the early signs of the first links appearing on the screen. They note that the changes of spaces brought about by the new setting – including the computer – question the projection of the image of the family body. Within the neo-group, corporeality is engaged. Video PFT accelerates the expression of old traumas.
