Fogel (psychology, U. of Utah) offers a straightforward introduction to the scientific research that figures into what he calls embodied self-awareness, as well as a psychoanalytic-cum-spiritual analysis of the pathologies of embodied self-awareness. He intelligently blends a commonsense appreciation of technical scientific information with examples accessible to a general audience. He begins with several chapters describing in lucid detail the scientific phenomenology of bodily sensations, our sense of movement, and our awareness of our body's schema. In the middle of the book, he turns to themes of expression and repression, exploring normal and pathological forms of absorption in a bodily state. Later chapters examine movement and touching, spending time on the interpersonal aspect, and the biomechanics of respiration and vocalization.
