Summary/Abstract: The work derives from the felt need to dissect the dimension of lived bodily experience and to investigate the facets that are involved in the psychological well-being of the individual. Although this issue is present and central in various contexts of the individual's daily life, it is addressed by resorting to a psychosocial dictionary characterized by stereotypes, prejudices and aesthetic standards, which approach corporeality in a superficial and reductive way, instead of seeking to explore deeper meaning of the body.
