This study investigated the relationship between disorders of the body self and personality defence mechanisms of women with bulimia nervosa. It was hypothesized that women with bulimia nervosa would not form a homogeneous group in terms of the body self disorder and that the extent of this disorder would be signifi cantly related to personality functioning in terms of the defence styles adopted. The hypothesis was investigated with the aid of two questionnaires: the Body Self Questionnaire (Mirucka, 2005) and the Defence Style Questionnaire by Andrews, Singh and Bond (1993). 36 women aged between 15 and 25 years, who fulfi lled the DSM IV criteria for bulimia nervosa participated in the study. Conclusions from the study were that: (1) the body self of bulimic women is differentially disordered at three levels: profound, moderate and minimal. (2) the degree to which the body self was found to be disordered is signifi cant in psychological terms as it is related to the defence style adopted by the bulimic personality. The profound and moderate levels of body self disorder related to immature defence styles, while minimal levels of disruption to body self were associated with neurotic and mature styles.

The aim of the study is to investigate the link between body self and identity processes in women who experienced sexual violence and in women without such experiences. Measurement of identity processes, using Identity and Experience Scale by Whitbourne, Sneed and Skultety, and body-self, using Questionnaire of Body Self by Sakson-Obada, were administered among control and clinical group. The control group consisted of 149 women who have not experienced sexual violence and in clinical group there were 43 women with sexual trauma. Results show that sexual trauma could lead to distortions in experiencing own body. Whereas difficulties in assimilation and integration those traumatic experiences indicate that sexual violence and changes in perception of own body might be a threat for coherence of identity.

This paper is a theoretical investigation of body identity. It is an attempt to deepen the analysis of body identity in its subjective aspect, which is framed as a constellation of complex identity senses: the sense of being, continuity of body self in time and space, inner consistency, separateness and bodily limits, as well as the senses of body ownership and agency. All the identified motives of body identity are regarded as pertaining to a special scope in the relationship with the body which produces the sense of body self, i.e., the sense of being an embodied subject. Ultimately, body identity is defined as a holistic and a higher order manner of experiencing one’s body self which anchors a human being in his/her subjectivity and uniqueness, thus complementing the individual and social aspect of identity.

The objective of the research presented in this paper was to investigate whether an association existed between the activation of the body schema and reaching adulthood among people in late adolescence. Three activities that are known to enjoy popularity among young people were analysed, namely: dancing, playing computer games that require motor involvement (e.g. Kinect), and playing computer games of an educational and entertaining character. It was assumed that the chosen forms of activity correspond to three levels of activation of the body schema. The following research methods have been applied to this study: the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES), the Defence Style Questionnaire (DSQ), and the Bodily Self Representation Questionnaire. The study has proven that the activation of body schema through dance is significantly related to high self-esteem and the use of mainly mature and neurotic defence mechanisms in threat situations.

The presented study was intended to shed some new light on the disturbance of body experience in persons with schizophrenia in reference to the Embodied Subject Model. The model proposes to complement theoretical linkages between concepts related to bodiness – body self and mental representations of the body (body schema, body image, body awareness) and a relatively new concept of body identity. The main research questions were: Given that persons with schizophrenia are characterised by the painful experience of their body as an external object, would they also manifest i/ weakened sensorimotor integration mechanisms, ii/ disordered mental representations of the body, iii/ weakened sense of body ownership? 41 individuals with schizophrenia and 41 matched controls participated in the Rubber Hand Illusion procedure. Body representations were measured with a Battery of Tests of the Body Self Representations. The individuals with schizophrenia showed lower scores in three body representations and greater susceptibility to the rubber hand illusion. It suggests that the explanation of susceptibility to disturbances in the sense of body ownership should be focused on the deficient structure of mental representations of the body.

Celem badania była eksploracja roli Ja cielesnego w kształtowaniu się tożsamości narracyjnej młodych osób dorosłych z niepełnosprawnością fizyczną. Przebadano 40 respondentów z różnym rodzajem oraz momentem nabycia niepełnosprawności fizycznej. W badaniu wykorzystane zostały metody takie, jak: Wywiad na Temat Historii Życia Dana McAdamsa, wywiad ustrukturalizowany na temat Ja cielesnego własnego autorstwa oraz wywiad ustrukturalizowany na temat postawy wobec własnej niepełnosprawności, skonstruowany na podstawie wywiadu na temat postawy wobec własnej choroby autorstwa Małgorzaty Opoczyńskiej. Rezultaty przeprowadzonych badań ukazują znaczący wpływ doświadczeń związanych z ciałem na kształtowanie się tożsamości narracyjnej młodych osób dorosłych z niepełnosprawnością fizyczną, nie odpowiadają jednak na pytanie, które z aspektów Ja cielesnego odgrywają w tym procesie najistotniejszą rolę. Zasadnicze znaczenie mają według respondentów kwestie związane z postrzeganiem swego ciała i oceną własnej atrakcyjności fizycznej, wśród których istotny jest zwłaszcza poziom akceptacji własnego ciała. Badani w swoich wypowiedziach podkreślali wpływ czynników kulturowych, szczególnie środków masowego przekazu, na kształtowanie się ich tożsamości narracyjnej oraz na poziom akceptacji swego ciała. Według wszystkich respondentów najwyraźniejszy wpływ na akceptację własnej cielesności oraz niepełnosprawności miały relacje społeczne i szeroko rozumiane wsparcie ze strony rodziny, partnerów życiowych i (lub) przyjaciół.

The aim of the study was to explore the role of body self in the development of narrative identity in young adults with physical disabilities. The study included 40 young adults with different types and onsets of physical disabilities. The following methods were employed in the study: the Life Story Interview by McAdams, a structured interview relating to body self designed by the author, and a structured interview on the attitude to one’s disability designed based on Małgorzata Opoczyńska’s interview on the attitude to one’s illness. The study’s findings indicate that body self has a significant influence on the development of narrative identity in young adults with physical disabilities; however, they do not provide an answer to the question which aspects of body self are most significant in this process. According to the respondents, issues relating to the perception of one’s body and self-perceived physical attractiveness are of fundamental importance, where acceptance of one’s body is particularly vital. They emphasized the impact of cultural factors, especially mass-media, on the development of their narrative identity and on the level of acceptance of their body. According to all the respondents, social relationships and broadly understood support of family, life partners and (or) friends had the biggest impact on their self acceptance and the acceptance of their disabilities.
