SUMMARY :
This presentation
develops the concept of territory used in psychomotric-therapy with couples presenting
sexual problems.
We will see how each member of the couple is asked to delimit
a personnal space in the therapy room, how he is able either to protect this space
from intrusions, or to share it with the other one, in the end, how the couple
bilds up a commun territory and how it used it.
This has a value for diagnosis
and for treatment.
During 15 years of practice, we have orbserved several
times the link between territory and sexuality - cf. W. PASINI in his book Eloge
de l’intimité and R. Neuburger Les territoires de l’intime.
Experiencing
appropriation and negociations of individual and couple’s territories during
the therapy improves awarness and changes in the couple’s dynamic.
