Abstract

From a psychoanalytical point of view, the author approaches the relationship with the body in today’s society, in which an incessant search for perfection, influenced by advertising, is observed. In this new context, the body has lost its primordial functions that confer upon the individual a feeling of identity to transform into an object of consumption. A focus is placed on the advance in this distorted thinking by adolescents and children, thus making the education process difficult.
