"The body, as the common ground for objectivity and (inter)subjectivity, is a phenomenon with a perplexing plurality of registers.

Therefore, this volume offers an interdisciplinary approach from the fields of neuroscience, phenomenology and psychoanalysis.

The concepts of body image and body schema have a firm tradition in each of these disciplines and make up the conceptual anchors of this volume."--BOOK JACKET.
