Under the Skin: A Psychoanalytic Study of Body Modification: The New Library of Psychoanalysis 'Beyond the Couch' Series
Autor Alessandra Lemmaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 feb 2010
Under the Skin considers the motivation behind why people pierce, tattoo, cosmetically enhance, or otherwise modify their body, from a psychoanalytic perspective. It discusses how the therapist can understand and help individuals for whom the manipulation of the body is felt to be psychically necessary, regardless of whether the process of modification causes pain.
In this book, psychoanalyst Alessandra Lemma draws on her work in the consulting room, as well as films, fiction, art and clinical research to suggest that the motivation for extensively modifying the surface of the body, and being excessively preoccupied with its appearance, comes from the person’s internal world – under their skin. Topics covered include:
- body image disturbance
- appearance anxiety
- body dysmorphic disorder
- the psychological function of cosmetic surgery, tattooing, piercing, and scarification.

Recenzii
"It is high time for clinicians to recognise that the body matters. This book is a brilliant illustration of how psychoanalytic therapy can illuminate our struggles with the physicality of our being and suggests effective solutions for the clinical management of these. With this book, Alessandra Lemma has established herself as one of the most original and creative contributors to psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The book is replete with arresting clinical insights and provides innovative theoretical integration that the field concerned with the mind in the body has lacked for a generation." - Peter Fonagy, Freud Memorial Professor of Psychoanalysis, University College London
"Beautifully written, this book is easily approachable by a large spectrum of readers while also addressing some deeply psychoanalytic and clinical issues. By discussing specific unconscious phantasies and the hatred of reality at work in the compelling need to modify the surface of the body, the book introduces an important psychoanalytic perspective on the complex and delicate role of early maternal responsiveness in development." - Dana Birksted-Breen, Training Psychoanalyst; Joint Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Psychoanalysis
"Under the Skin - A Psychoanalytic Study of Body Modification, by Alessandra Lemma, is the kind of fascinating read that does just what it subtly promises: to get under the skin of the practice of body art... Lemma has a way of taking complex ideas and delivering them in an easy and accessible manner. She draws on a wide range of theorists, novels and films to illustrate her ideas, which contribute to making the book an absorbing and fascinating foray into the barrier world between inside and outside the skin barrier. It brings to life our own relationship to the container of skin from which we engage patients and fine-tunes our awareness to what our patients might be communicating through the secret language of their skin." - Susan Spencer, New Therapist, Issue 67, May - June 201
"This is an impressive work by an author who is clearly well experienced in her topic and it is a pleasure to read. I can strongly recommend it, especially to analysts and therapists who are working primarily with adolescents. The book is well researched and there is and extensive reference list." - Brian J. Muir, Psychoanalysis Downunder, Issue 10, 2010
"What a pleasure it is to review a book that brings psychoanalytic understanding to happenings in our contemporary culture! Most psychoanalytic writers shy away from topics that have to do with “the real world out there,” preferring to write about more timeless concepts. Not so this book’s author, Alessandra Lemma; furthermore, hers is an extraordinarily clear and well-written book. It provides an excellent and thorough review of the literature on the body and body modification from psychoanalytic, sociological, anthropological, and pop-cultural points of view." - Janice S. Lieberman, The Psychoanalytic Quarterly, July 2011

"Under the Skin, is unique as an in depth psychoanalytic study of body modification, and needs to be recognized and commended for its insightfulness and the comprehensive integration of psychoanalysis with cultural studies, literature, art, and film. It is a powerful, well written treatise in the growing field of body modification....Lemma's mind, like the bodies she investigates, is worthy of exploring as she takes us on this journey through fascinating terrain. - Melanie Suchet, Ph.D., DIVISION/Review Vol.1., No. 1
