Self-steem, body image and mental health: person-centered intervention
Self-steem; self-image; mental health; psycotherapy; body.
Body image is a person’s perception of their own body and the thoughts and feelings that come from this perception. It’s the way a person imagines how he/she is, how they see themselves or believe that others see and judge them. The construction of body image is related to components like body behaviors and feelings and the ability we have to recognize our body, its forms, and the limits between it and the space around us. This project aims to develop a humanistic intervention procedure more specifically person-centered using the sense’s version to provide changes on the perception of body self-image leading to improvement in people's self-esteem. To this end, the required and sufficient conditions for personality change will be presented and discussed, and the therapeutic process phases both postulated and developed by Carl Rogers.
