The skin is what separates us from the world: the physical boundary of our «I». The topic is so fascinating that the famous director Pedro Almodóvar, who made the best-selling film The Skin I Live In (2011), paid tribute to it.
The skin is what separates us from the world: the physical boundary of our «I». The topic is so fascinating that the famous director Pedro Almodóvar, who made the best-selling film The Skin I Live In (2011), paid tribute to it. There is a close connection between the skin and the nervous system: after all, in the process of development of the human embryo, they are formed from the same material (ectoderm). But, oddly enough, the psychology of this connection has not paid much attention! This anthology has collected the main works on the relationship between the conditions of the skin and the psyche, written in the main languages of psychology: German and English, since 1911.
