<unk> is a complex construct, often used in the clinical context of describing a patient's cognitive perception of their own<unk> . The medical concept began with the work of the Austrian neuropsychiatrist and psychoanalyst Paul Schilder, described in his book The<unk>  and Appearance of the Human<unk>  first published in 1935. The term “body<unk> ” was officially introduced by Schilder himself and his widely used definition is:<unk> is the picture of our own<unk>  we form in our mind, that is to say the way in which the<unk>  appears to ourselves”. In research with the term “body<unk> ” we currently refer to a conscious mental representation of one’s own<unk> , which involves affects, attitudes, perceptual components and cognition. On the contrary the term “body schema” was initially used to describe an unconscious<unk>  mental representation fundamental for action. Keizer and colleagues (2013) suggest the following definition: “body schema is an unconscious, sensorimotor, representation of the<unk>  that is invoked in action. In light of recent scientific developments regarding the multisensory integration of<unk>  sensations, the distinction between<unk> and<unk>  schema appears simplistic and probably no longer useful for scientific research and clinical purposes.
