Phenomenology of the Image and of Desire in Adolescent Gender Dysphoria
Abstract
The study of desire at Rorschach implicate the phenomenological study of images conveyed by responses, at least those in which a clear portrait can be considered as forms of consciousness and of Ego manifestation. The optic to involve the portraits of desire with the Rorschach practice proposes that the meeting point is the affectivity related to desire. It reorganizes the Ego and allows the comparison between different human conventions. The article presents some portraits of desire, thus the study consists in the attempt to highlight how these portraits can be identified through pareidolia. The clinical reality of adolescent Gender Dysphoric patients appears as an area in which desire prevails over the symptom’s symbology and becomes clear and explicit from the first contact. The study therefore proposes that the peculiarities of desire, may allow a study in depth about more complex intrapsychic representations such as those of the Self and the Body, whose articulation is provided as an outcome the bad endurance (dysphoria) of a physic not experienced as own.
