Psychosomatics is an approach to the human being that goes back to antiquity, in which the body, soul, and their interconnectedness are brought to the fore. The term "psychic-somatic" was introduced into medicine in the early 19th century. In the last 100 years, a psychosomatic understanding of the human being was often critically demanded as a so-called holistic understanding against a primarily (apparatus-)technically oriented, "science-dominated" medicine, which the latter was thereby qualified with Cartesian fragmentation tendencies. In the meantime, psychosomatic medicine has become a medical discipline that reaches into most other medical areas.
The phenomenological study of corporeality, originating with Edmund Husserl, traditionally opposes such a tendency. With its multifaceted conceptualization in Maurice Merleau-Ponty, with important later resonances (such as Bernhard Waldenfels), but also with powerful new approaches (Jean-Luc Nancy), it emphasizes, as did Sigmund Freud, a close interconnection between the physical and the mental. Freud understands the unconscious as a mediation between body and soul. Bodies, as they appear not only in treatments but also in the visual arts, in film, in literature, or in everyday culture, are sensed, fantasized, thought. In psychoanalysis, the diversity of bodies, their experience and their thematization in the treatment is in the foreground. For this purpose, differently structured experiences of the body are to be distinguished. Individual partial zones and partial drives can become guiding for the body structuring, the unconscious image of the body can become important. The body receives its respective structuring from the beginning in confrontation with its objects. Central to a psychoanalytic understanding of the body is not only the bisexual disposition of the human being, but also that matrix which is thought of as sexual independent of gender difference.
The course offers an introduction to various concepts that have historically as well as currently shaped psychoanalytic thinking of psychosomatic phenomena. In the context of societal developments, the traditional understanding of sexuality and gender has changed quite a bit in recent decades. This will have to be taken into account in view of the importance of sexuality for the psychoanalytic understanding of illnesses as well as that incision in the past two years of a pandemic, in which cultures of touch were turned into cultures of distance under a sociosomatic pressure.
