Sarcaptorexia, a coinage etymologically derived from the Greek term σάρξ, σαρκός, (sárx, sarkós, meaning "meat, living animal, human being"), ἅπτομαι“ (háptomai, meaning "to touch, to reach"), and “ὄρεξις, ὀρέξεως” (órexis, orexeos, meaning "need, desire, hunger"), describes the human need for affectively touching and being touched. It addresses an essential need for human mental development from infancy to old age. It is considered to be one of the primordial forms of non-verbal communication. The concepts contained in this term require further and deeper analysis from both psychological and neurobiological perspective.
This concept was explained and developed in the semester publication of the journal “Temas de Psicoanálisis,” issue number 27, published in January 2024, [1] by the Spanish Society of Psychoanalysis (SEP), which has been a member of the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA) since 1959.
