Description
Shaun Gallagher's The Self and Its Disorders presents an interdisciplinary approach to understanding psychopathologies as disorders of the self. This book takes a unique perspective, drawing on embodied and enactive conceptions of human experience to develop a comprehensive analysis of the self-pattern. Gallagher explores various factors that contribute to the self-pattern, including bodily, experiential, affective, cognitive, intersubjective, narrative, ecological, and normative elements. He examines specific disorders such as schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, depression, borderline personality disorder, and autism, as well as the effects of torture and solitary confinement. The book also discusses therapeutic approaches, including deep brain stimulation, meditation-based interventions, and the use of artificial intelligence and virtual reality, providing a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between psychopathologies and treatment options.
