| Sumario: | Schizophrenia is a basic self-disturbance that in its early stages causes the sufferer discomfort toward feelings of self. Therefore, fragility or abnormality with regard to sense of self was a core observation of early schizophrenia theory. Rather than body-image-related depression or anorexia, disturbed body experience is the main factor affecting body image in patients with schizophrenia. This is a concept that has been discussed in the literature in recent years. This article will introduce the body self model, discuss the schizophrenic symptoms that influence experienced body disturbances and reduce body self-functions, and explore the relationship between body identity and body image. In order to improve the body image of patients with schizophrenia, it is necessary to conduct assessments and interventions that enhance the sense of body identity.
