“…Counter-intuitively, however, these two body models are not enough to provide a sense of whole-body ownership, the unitary experience of owning a whole body (Tirassa et al, 2006; Tsakiris et al, 2006, 2010; Petkova et al, 2011a,b). …”

Clinical psychology is starting to explain eating disorders (ED) as the outcome of the interaction among cognitive, socio-emotional and interpersonal elements. In particular two influential models—the revised cognitive-interpersonal maintenance model and the transdiagnostic cognitive behavioral theory—identified possible key predisposing and maintaining factors. These models, even if very influential and able to provide clear suggestions for therapy, still are not able to provide answers to several critical questions: why do not all the individuals with obsessive compulsive features, anxious avoidance or with a dysfunctional scheme for self-evaluation develop an ED? What is the role of the body experience in the etiology of these disorders? In this paper we suggest that the path to a meaningful answer requires the integration of these models with the recent outcomes of cognitive neuroscience. First, our bodily representations are not just a way to map an external space but the main tool we use to generate meaning, organize our experience, and shape our social identity. In particular, we will argue that our bodily experience evolves over time by integrating six different representations of the body characterized by specific pathologies—body schema (phantom limb), spatial body (unilateral hemi-neglect), active body (alien hand syndrome), personal body (autoscopic phenomena), objectified body (xenomelia) and body image (body dysmorphia). Second, these representations include either schematic (allocentric) or perceptual (egocentric) contents that interact within the working memory of the individual through the alignment between the retrieved contents from long-term memory and the ongoing egocentric contents from perception. In this view EDs may be the outcome of an impairment in the ability of updating a negative body representation stored in autobiographical memory (allocentric) with real-time sensorimotor and proprioceptive data (egocentric).

“…A growing body of literature views theory of mind (ToM) as a complex activity involving related but different abilities (e.g., Harrington, Siegert, & McClure, 2005;Saxe, Moran, Scholz, & Gabrieli, 2006;Tirassa, Bosco, & Colle, 2006). This reflects in the types of experimental tasks that have been proposed in recent years for the assessment of ToM in normal and abnormal populations, some of which focus on the ability to understand visual or other perceptual cues as hints to another individual's mental states (e.g., Baron-Cohen, Wheelwright, Hill, Raste, & Plumb 2001;Rutherford, Baron-Cohen, & Wheelwright, 2002;Golan, Baron-Cohen, Hill, & Rutherford, 2007) and others on the comprehension of complex mental states as encapsulated in short stories or linguistic questions (e.g., Baron-Cohen, O'Riordan, Stone, Jones & Plaitsed, 1999;Happé, 1994;Pons & Harris, 2000).…”
