Preview text, the physical self.
- Physical Self refers to the body, this marvelous container and complex, finely tuned, machine with which we interface with our environment and fellow beings. WILLIAM JAMES ➢ considered body as the initial source of sensation and necessary for the origin and maintenance of personality. SIGMUND FREUD ➢ construction of self and personality makes the physical body the core of human experience. Freud was of the view that the ego is first and foremost a body ego (Freud, 1937). ERIK ERIKSON ➢ experience is anchored in the ground plan of body (Erikson, 1963). According to him the role of bodily organs is especially important in early developmental stages of a person’s life. CARL GUSTAV JUNG ➢ argued that physical processes are relevant to us only to the extent they are represented in the psyche. The physical body and the external world can be known only as psychological experiences. B. F. SKINNER ➢ was a staunch behaviorist and for him the role of body is of primary importance. For Skinner the terms personality and self are mere explanatory fictions and all there is, is the body. The Physical Self: The Self as Impacted by the Body Humans have five vital organs that are essential for survival. These are the brain, heart, kidneys, liver and lungs.
- The human brain is the body's control center, receiving and sending signals to other organs through the nervous system and through secreted hormones. It is responsible for our thoughts, feelings, memory storage and general perception of the world.
- The human heart is a responsible for pumping blood throughout our body.
- The job of the kidneys is to remove waste and extra fluid from the blood. The kidneys take urea out of the blood and combine it with water and other substances to make urine.
- The liver has many functions, including detoxifying of harmful chemicals, breakdown of drugs, filtering of blood, secretion of bile and production of blood-clotting proteins.
- The lungs are responsible for removing oxygen from the air we breathe and transferring it to our blood where it can be sent to our cells. The lungs also remove carbon dioxide, which we exhale. "MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL, WHO'S THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL?"
