Abstract
Subjective descriptions of neuropsychological phenomena which reflect body-image disturbances, are well known to neurologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists and rehabilitation medicine physicians. These phenomena may accompany patients with mental illnesses, after brain injury or with various neuro-orthopedic disabilities. It is also well documented in people who are exposed to extreme isolation or harsh situations.
