A Screen of One’s Own: Associations to the Papers of Schoen, Petrucelli, & Sands

ABSTRACT

In response to the papers in this issue by Schoen, Petrucelli and Sands, the author takes up their themes of theorizing and working clinically with embodiment by way of a string of associations: first to a documentary film by performance artist, K8 Hardy, and then to a quote by French psychoanalyst Didier Anzieu. The author then uses these associations, inspired by the three papers, to pose questions about how we might expand our thinking and practice around embodiment to include the virtual, providing examples from her clinical practice.
