Instead he appears as one of the 'host of choice spirits' forced to live among coarse, materialistic, hypocritical people, among them Jefferson and Hamilton.

He was an aide to General Washington during the Revolutionary War. Three years later, on the order of President Thomas Jefferson, he was tried for treason: for plotting to dismember the United States.

Our current zeitgeist of the wellness movement brings the ‘two-ness’ of the psyche/soma into an integrated whole of the mind/body.Įxpressions of somatic suffering have long plagued psychoanalysis as analysts struggle to find ways to treat patients who express pain through the body. Nevertheless contributors like Winnicott, carried the concept of “the ‘indwelling’ of the psyche in the soma” (Winnicott, 1966). Our medical ways are of treating diseases not people. Historically, however, the psyche and soma have often been treated as split entities. Bodies express fear and terror, passion and desire, wishes and punishment for wishes. The Body’s expression of the psyche becomes the focus of Joyce McDougall in her book Theaters of the Body: Psychoanalytic Approach to Psychosomatic Illness (1989).

The Body is always a prominent vehicle of expression and therefore of psychic communication. This Body Gallery ventures into a multiplicity of areas of the body in psychoanalysis, our values of beauty, the place of the skin in culture and art, the impact of body injury in adolescence and artistic expressions of the body.
