The body takes care of us in the sense that it ensures our biological existence while incorporating the information necessary for motor activity and emotional life. Through contact with the world and others, it awakens our self-awareness. These interactions produce an incorporation of information that enables us to adapt our bodies to our environment, and our attitudes to interactions with others. This incorporation enriches the plasticity of our abilities and body awareness.
The theme of touch is present in many contemporary issues. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the introduction of barrier gestures had an impact on touch, to the point of prohibiting it. Touch is essential to health care, and retains a fundamental place in the healing professions, particularly osteopathy.
Conversion disorder is a psychiatric disorder whose clinic and management lie at the crossroads between body and mind. It challenges healthcare professionals in terms of diagnosis, further investigation, referral and care. A number of questions arise, such as how caregivers perceive the relationship between body and mind, the place of the psychiatric hypothesis among the initial diagnostic hypotheses, and the temporality of care.
The body approach is a real challenge in nursing training. It is part of the relationship between the caregiver and the cared-for. Through their bodies, students experience all their sensations and perceptions. Questioning nursing students through the phenomenological approach of sophrology means enabling them to achieve body-mind harmonization, a fundamental pillar of this mind-body technique. The regular practice of sophrology teaches them to act autonomously on themselves, developing their personal resources for a better body-mind and/or mind-body well-being.
An experimental art-mediated psychotherapy workshop is offered to patients who, after a stroke, find their physical and mental capacities diminished. The traumatic experience of this brutal event and the resulting handicaps are a source of psycho-affective disorders that can hinder favorable motor recovery. The workshop's ethnoscenological approach provides an integrative reading of the psychological mechanisms at play, enabling us to work psychologically with the modified body through experiential performative practice and stage exercises that encourage the embodiment of the imaginary.
The actuation of the body and the bodily experience of each experience induce a continuous reshaping of the cerebral configuration of the human being, from birth to death. This ontogenetic dynamic is particularly important during adolescence. The young person's personality, still under construction, can be thrown off balance by traumatic experiences or repeated neglect. Adapted physical activity and psychomotricity, which focus on movement and the body, can help restore balance.
