Bullington J. The Expression of the Psychosomatic Body from a Phenomenological Perspective. Chapter 2. Living Body (Translated by E. G. Rudneva)

Abstract: In her researches Jennifer Bullington, a professor at Schendal High School in Stockholm, focuses on the system philosophical analysis of psychosomatic theories and the problems of theoretical interpretation of psychosomatic states in order to improve the treatment of patients who have complicated psychosomatic symptoms. Bullington views psychosomatic theory from the point of view of philosophy, particularly based on such authors as Edmund Husserl and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. In this work, Bullington presents her alternative phenomenological theory of psychosomatics being inspired by a French phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Merleau-Ponty developed the definition of living body and transformation of structure. Viewing the phenomenon of perception from the phenomenological point of view allows us to get access to the field which has never been discovered before. This is the field which Merleau-Ponty described as the ‘interweaving’ or a ‘dialogue’ between human and the world.

Keywords:

psychology, phenomenology, psychosomatics, psychophysical issue, subjectivity, body, soul, intentionality, consciousness, feelings, natural attitude.
