    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry and Psychology
    • Phenomenology
    • Embodied Cognition

    Context:

    • Psychiatric diagnosis traditionally relies on symptom clusters.
    • The subjective experience of illness, or 'lived body,' offers additional diagnostic information.
    • Non-verbal cues and emotional expression are crucial in patient assessment.

    Purpose:

    • To explore how embodied manifestations (gesture, mimicry, mood) inform psychiatric diagnosis.
    • To investigate the role of the 'lived body' in understanding patient personality.
    • To bridge the gap between objective diagnosis and subjective patient experience.

    Summary:

    • Psychic disturbances are characterized by unique patterns in the 'lived body,' encompassing gestures, mimicry, mood, emotional states, and speech.
    • These embodied expressions provide subtle yet significant variations that allow clinicians to discern not only the psychiatric diagnosis.
    • Furthermore, these manifestations offer insights into the patient's core being and individual personality.

    Impact:

    • Enhances clinical assessment by integrating embodied cues with traditional diagnostic methods.
    • Promotes a more holistic understanding of patients, recognizing their unique personality alongside their illness.
    • Potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic alliance in psychiatric care.
