Didier Anzieu, A Skin for Thought The Skin-Ego (Le Moi-Peau) is a concept coined by French psychoanalyst Didier Anzieu in 1974 on the relations between the experience of the skin and the formation and sustaining of the ego. For Anzieu, the ego is the projection in the psyche of the surface of the body, namely the skin, which makes up this sheet or interface. The skin allows us to distinguish excitations of external origin from those of internal origin; just as one of the main functions of the ego is to distinguish what belongs to myself and what does not belong, between what comes from me and the desires thoughts, and af...fects of others, and between a physical (the world) or biological (the body) reality outside the mind. The skin ego is at once a sac containing together the pieces of the self, an excitation screen, a surface in which signs are inscribed, and guardian of the intensity of instincts that it localizes in a bodily source.
