title: [The body--a symbol of the unconscious?].
abstract: Based on Lacan's differentiation between the real, the imaginary and the symbolic it is shown that Moser's connection between psychoanalysis and therapy is almost exclusively concentrated on the body in the sphere of the imaginary. According to Bittner, when the body is regarded symbolically, it represents a highly emotional "transcription" of the unconscious.
