Abstract
- An assumption is presented that the human mind can actively marshal the body to facilitate the construction of a satisfactory body image that will enhance self-worth and self-identity. The body image is a variety of images that have accumulated from the past, rather than a fixed projection of how one looks or a mental construct of one's appearance.
