Summary

This response offers a brief overview of Gallagher’s chapter, and then questions it on three specific points: reflective versus pre-reflective accounts of the ownership of our body, the extension of this sense of ownership to cognitive and affective realms, and the basis for this sense of ownership in the very fabric of our experiences. The commentary ends with a suggestion on how the phenomenological approach can contribute to psychiatry, both in the clinic and in the lab.
