This book delves into the potential of specific photographic images to reflect upon experiences of mental disorders. Rather than focusing solely on photographs of individuals suffering from mental disorders, this volume aims to comprehend the intricacies of such conditions through photographic lexicons, metaphors, and practices. For the purposes of this book, a mental disorder is not viewed as a dysfunction or impairment, but rather as a state in which the equilibrium between a stable and unstable mind is disrupted, leading to mental and physical disturbances. The term "psychosomatic" denotes the interplay between the mind (psyche) and the body (soma), highlighting their interdependence. By employing the term "Psychosomatic Imagery," this volume refers to a distinct trope of photographic images that address the body-mind interaction during the states of mental disorders. This innovative theoretical framework in photography theory prompts critical discussions about the visualized experiences of mental disorders, encompassing both disturbed corporeal and mental perceptions of the world. While the introduction of the volume explores and evaluates the applications of photography in mental disorder studies from theoretical and historical perspectives, the subsequent chapters delve into specific cases of Psychosomatic Imagery in contemporary photography. These cases include, but are not limited to, PTSD, hysteria, paranoia, psychosis, bipolar disorder, and Hikikomori.
