Acta psychiatrica Belgica
P Buxant, C Mertens

Abstract

Subjective importance and affective organization of fifty body concepts have been evaluated in sixty myocardial patients and sixty healthy subjects. Myocardial patients attribute more importance to their articulations and perceive their bodies as an instrument for action rather than as a locus of emotion and pleasure. This observation is discussed in relation with the hypothesis of "pensée opératoire".
