Au-delà de la peau,un regard porté… L’échographie et la pulsion scopique machinique

Throughout pregnancy, the pregnant woman pre-invests then invests the future child, feels it, to represent him, and see, watch the child. As the pregnant woman feels her unborn child, her story and her fantasies about him become rich and voluptuous. Shoring body is important and the introduction of ultrasound, it will then be able to rely on this image, on this look beyond the skin, both in the investment process of the baby, that level representations are the signs. A psychic creation's process supports the process of “creating organic” and, step-by-step, the child is there, in reality, beyond the womb. The ultrasound image is therefore helping to fantasizing, in a psychic creation's work, but sometimes it can also lead to freezing of the same fantasizing, to “freeze frame” of this creative work became a prisoner of madness maternal lethal. Indeed, the side of the destructiveness, the ultrasound image can become a fetish and a trauma, as will be shown in the case of a patient named Mary.
