Nicolò Terminio's 'Trauma del desiderio' Explores Clinical Discourse

Nicolò Terminio's new book 'Trauma del desiderio. Clinica dei discorsi e strategie terapeutiche', published by Raffaello Cortina Editore in Milan in 2026, examines the clinical role of discourse in therapeutic strategies. The book argues that discourse, etymologically linked to movement, is a relational and symbolic motion connecting individuals. It emphasizes the bodily origin of language and the motor brain's role in understanding discourse, proposing that the interplay of body, relationship, and speech contains constraints and possibilities leading to creative desire. The work is dedicated to the clinical practice of discourse in seeking therapeutic strategies for trauma.
