Recently,the issues regarding body awareness have been paid attention to in the practice of psychotherapy, We usually use our body without being conscious about our muscle functions and the endocrine and nervous systems. It might be possible to say that we have a vast unconscious component inside our body as well as mind. Freud referred to the relationships among the ego,internal perception,and surface skin in his early works on the theory of the ego. Jung also mentioned the importance of the body in which our minds dwell. However,both of them did not pursue the issues concerning the body,because they paid much attention to the mind. In this study,the author reviewed the theories about the body advanced by Freud and Jung and discussed the idea of the "bodily-ego." The possibility of verbalization regarding the experience of the bodily-ego as well as the ego seems to be the turning point in achieving the objective of integration. The author also pointed out the existence of a relationship between the ego and the surface skin and discovered a special function of tactile sensation. The case reports by the author propose that bodily sensations spread inside our bodies through the permeable membrane of the bodily-ego and the tactile function. The deterioration of body awareness leads to the destruction of the relationship between the body and the ego. Clients who projected their ego on the self-injured cuts and scars were found to experience unstable adjustment funcions. This result clarified that both the ego and the bodily-ego are crucial aspects of mental health as they form the foundation of our bodily health.近年心理臨床において,身体性が注目されている.身体機能には,内部筋肉や内分i必系,神経系など,意識とは無関係に働く領域があり,心と同様,広大な無意識領域ととらえることが可能だ.フロイトは自我論初期,内部知覚と自我,身体表面と自我の関係に触れている.またユングも独自の無意識論の初期に,生命が宿る身体の重要性に触れている. しかし両者とも心の領域への関心が高く,身体の問題を追究することはなかった.本論では両者の自我と身体に関する論を整理し,"身体自我"の考察を試みた.白衣と同様,身体自我についても言語表象可能かどうかが,統合作用への転換点となる.また皮膚表面にも着目し,自我との関係と触覚の特異な機能を見出した.さらに自傷行為の考察をもとに,身体自我と触覚の機能一身体表面を浸透膜として体内へ拡がり,自我と関係づけるプロセスーを抽出した.身体意識の劣化は,身体基盤と自我との連関をも破壊する.自我を自傷痕に投影する姿には,自己内部の安定機能の不十分きが推測された.これらによって,従来の自我意識だけでなく身体的な自我意識の重要性と,身体基盤との関わりが明らかになった.
