Shaun Gallagher presents a comprehensive exploration of psychopathologies, viewing them as disorders of the self. The Self and its Disorders adopts an interdisciplinary approach, seeking to establish an integrative perspective in psychiatry. This book departs from narrow brain-based conceptions or symptomology, instead grounding itself in embodied and enactive conceptions of human experience. Gallagher offers a profound understanding of the self as a complex tapestry of processes, encompassing bodily experiences, emotional states, cognitive processes, intersubjective relationships, narrative constructions, ecological considerations, and normative frameworks. He delves into a philosophical analysis of the concept of self-pattern, drawing upon phenomenological insights, developmental theories, clinical evidence, and experimental research. Through this comprehensive approach, Gallagher proposes a methodology to study the impact of psychopathologies on the self-pattern. The book includes detailed discussions of various disorders, such as schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, depression, borderline personality disorder, and autism, as well as the consequences of torture and solitary confinement. Additionally, it explores a range of therapeutic approaches, including deep brain stimulation, meditation-based interventions, and the utilization of artificial intelligence and virtual reality. By examining these diverse topics, The Self and its Disorders provides a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the complexities of psychopathologies and their effects on the human self.
