Despite its name, psychoanalysis is a practice that affects the body. The body is at the centre of its theory. It all began with the conversion symptom, which was followed by Freud’s metapsychology, according to which the drives are internal forces from which we cannot escape, different from external stimulus, from which, when they become unmanageable, we can escape. For Freud our body is at the centre of our passions, against which repression operates.
