JIM, THE MAGICIEN WITH EARLY NARCISSISTIC AND IDENTITY FLAWS

The psychoanalytic cure of a suffering child cannot be evoked mentally without the presence of the analyst's body and without his malleability which lets him welcome the body of the young patient whose pain seems formidable, caught up in terrors and furies. Thus, in this article, we hope to show how very early childhood traumas are expressed both on the playing field of his own body, on the that of the analyst's body and also in the space they share which develops through the encounter of both body and psychic playing fields. This work also belongs to a line of thought concerning what is at stake in adoptive filiations, in the body and the narration made possible which may follow in the wake of early trauma, expressing itself at such a time through early, bodily scenarios even though there may be a well-established presence of language.
