Mémoire corporelle et trajectoire sociale

Abstract

This article approaches the problem of corporal memory from a social and clinical point of view. It shows the methodology of work proposing to approach it from the statement of life and from the body across activities of expression that help the symbolization and the elaboration of corporal memory. The paper discusses the theories that sustain the work and that allows the authors to clarify the social aspects involved in traumatic situations. It also provides some cases that illustrate the interest of the work on corporal memory in cases of sexual abuse.
