Self-eroticism: an active vacuum in contemporany clinics

This work explores the notion of self-eroticism as a problematic virtuality which realizes itself in various forms of erogeneity without ever being replenished by them; it realizes itself as a plan of experience from which emanates the power to act and to become. I use the notions of "vitality affects", "to feel with", "sensitive body" and "small perceptions", from the theoretical work of Daniel Stern, Sandor Ferenczi and José Gil. In order to add a contribution to the debate over subjectivation movements present in contemporary psychotherapeutical processes. These notions imply the destabilization of known and recognizable states of the perceived world and in a disposition for the dissolution of the "Ego". I propose to think the experience of "transference" as a space crossed by fluxus of forces which are able to produce new ways of being erogenous.
