Abstract
The need to clarify the “confusion in neurology and allied disciplines between the body image, the body schema, the body concept and the perceived body” was emphasized by Smythies (1953). For the neuropsychiatrist it is perhaps the disorders of the body schema and perceived body which are of the greatest interest and importance, but the confusion which still exists between the body concept and the body percept make it probable that a definition and examination of the body concept would clarify thinking about all Body Image problems.Keywords
