Stroke, Body Image, and Self Representation Dimension:Paperback designed to be used alongsideStroke, Body Image, and Self Representation provides a psychoanalytic reading of the subjective difficulties encountered by patients who have suffered a stroke. The book is based on the words of stroke patients and on their self portraits, which are then compared with the words and portraits of subjects devoid of brain lesions. Pathological and normal self portraits illustrate in very concrete terms the libidinal investment of our body parts.
