THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LIVED BODILINESS AND THE ACTUALIZATION OF THE PSYCHIC LIFE OF A CHILD-IN-EDUCATION By B. RAS 1. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Where ‘soul’ and ‘body’ are traditionally viewed (following Descartes) as two separate entities belonging to two different realities, today this is by no means the case. A large number of studies in the areas of psychopathology and orthopedagogy have already been carried out from which it seems clear that the inadequate actualization of either lived bodiliness [corporeality] or the psychic life influence the totality of a human being’s existence. However, there is still a need for a description of the relationship between lived bodiliness and the psychic life in terms of their adequate actualization. This study is an attempt to describe this relationship in an exemplary way by indicating a few relationships among the essences of lived bodiliness (movement and attitude**) and the essences of the psychic life of a child-in-education in terms their self-actualization as well as their accompanied-actualization.
