El esquema corporal es la imagen tridimensional que todo el mundo tiene de sí mismo y podemos llamar a esta imagen, imagen corporal. [...] Cuando se aborda el tema de esquema corporal, es frecuente encontrar que se utilizan indistintamente los conceptos de esquema corporal y de imagen corporal, por lo que es importante intentar una diferenciación entre ellos. [...] En principio, el esquema corporal es el mismo para todos los individuos de la especie humana en circunstancias más o menos iguales, pero la imagen del cuerpo, por el contrario, es propia de cada uno, ya que está ligada al sujeto y a su historia. Es específica de una libido en situación, de un tipo de relación libidinal. 4, record 1, Spanish, - imagen%20corporal
