Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Virtual Intimacy and Communication in Film explores the impact of new communication technologies, particularly those found on the internet, on intimate relationships and psychoanalysis. Edited by Andrea Sabbadini, this book brings together a group of practising psychoanalysts to delve into the potential transformations these technologies bring to human connections and intimacy. The contributors analyze how virtual environments might replace real-life interactions in both sentimental and therapeutic contexts. They question whether voices transmitted via telephone or computer could effectively substitute for an in-person analyst, potentially fostering idealization and disconnection from reality. As we navigate this technological shift, the book raises critical questions about our preparedness to handle these revolutionary changes in human relationships and affects.
