Professor Susie Orbach
research interests
Professor Orbach brings a psychoanalytic lens to a series of social, policy,
interpersonal and individual concerns. She has written much about women's
psychology and the construction of femininity, gender, the making of the body,
psychoanalysis and social policy, eating difficulties, obesity to anorexia,
women and brands, globalism and body image, emotional literacy in business,
education and government. Specifically within psychoanalysis, her interests are
the body, gender, counter-transference and the psychotherapy relationship. She
has been consultant to The World Bank and is currently consultant to the NHS and
to DOVE (Unilever). Her current work examines the shift from the post industrial
to the pre-precision engineered body. She is concerned particularly with the way
in which psychological symptoms which are physically expressed - such a eczemas,
hysterical paralyses, eating difficulties - have moved from being the somatic
manifestation of emotional issues to indications of disturbed bodies that are
experienced as unplotted and unstable.
