from Part II - Brain without Body, Body without Brain, and Contemporary Body Image Disorders

The manner of expression of human malaise has changed and evolved a lot over time. With regard to the specific relationship with the body, we can also observe that it has evolved over time in response to some contradictory hypermodern drives. It is therefore appropriate to investigate how people sometimes feel drawn into a social climate that is full of confusing and contradictory messages and dynamics that are often difficult to elaborate, and what the effects of this context are. Human symbolization and mentalization processes therefore seem rooted in the body and relationships, which in turn are rooted in a specific social context that is changing, adding further complexity and transforming the concept of the human body in turn.
