INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR PSYCHOMOTOR

Verona (Italy), 27-29 June 2024

LOOK, BODY IMAGE AND PSYCHO-SOCIAL IDENTITY
Psychomotricity in the face of social changes

  

 Vision and the representation of the body as body schema are two important functions, however based on neuropsychological processes. On the contrary, the look and the body image, although based on the same neuropsychological processes, are at the same time also based on psychological and psychodynamic mechanisms.

In this sense, look and body image constitute two psychomotor functions par excellence in which sensorial-perceptive, cognitive, symbolic, communicative and affective-relational processes are integrated, a synthesis between objective and subjective data.

What are look and body image and what relationship is there between them? What is their role in the constitution of the attachment bond and autonomy, personality, psychomotor harmony and social life? What are the pathologies, classic and new psychomotor, connected to these two vital functions for individual and social well-being?

The seminar will take place around these questions, in theory and in practice, in order to better identify, in a constantly changing society, preventive, educational and management interventions by various professionals, in particular the psychomotor therapist .
