YOSHINAGA, Iara Galiás e GALIAS, Iraci. The skin we are, the skin we feel: Skin - symbol - consciousness. Junguiana [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.2, pp. 77-88. ISSN 0103-0825.
The human somatosensory system works in a dynamic way. Our organs receive and produce stimuli that will be converted into biological information, which are necessary for formation, maturation and the overall functioning of the body, mind, and spirit. The "wellbeing sensation" is a result of several biological phenomena that involve the central nervous system. In this context, the role of skin, tact and touch in the development and structuring of our consciousness will be discussed. The concepts of "symbolic skin" and "psychic skin" will be explored.
