Psychoanalytic treatment reveals unconscious somatic and cognitive correspondences between analyst and patient. These shared experiences, often triggered by activated conflict residues, highlight the role of the unconscious in communication.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychoanalysis
  • Psychosomatic Medicine

Background:

  • Psychoanalytic treatment involves both cognitive and somatic correspondences.
  • Somatic correspondences, though less documented, are activated by external life events.
  • These correspondences manifest initially in the analyst, followed by the analysand.

Observation:

  • Somatic symptoms appearing in the analyst are shortly mirrored in the analysand.
  • These mirrored experiences are verbalized by the analysand during treatment sessions.
  • Superficial analysis may dismiss these as coincidence, but deeper exploration reveals unconscious roots.

Findings:

  • Unconscious roots involve nearly simultaneous activation of conflict residues in both analyst and analysand.
  • A brief period of approximate intensity between activated facets triggers the correspondence.

  • Preoedipal conflicts are more associated with somatic manifestations, while oedipal conflicts relate to cognitive ones.

    • Implications:

    • The unconscious plays a significant role in extrasensory and unverbalized communication.
    • Suggests the addition of 'body-language transference' to existing concepts like 'thought transference'.
    • Highlights the importance of exploring somatic symptoms within psychoanalytic frameworks for deeper understanding.
