Historical epistemology of psychomotricity
A metadiscipline
Franco Boscaini
This comprehensive work explores the evolution of Psychomotricity from its historical, philosophical, and medical roots to its establishment as an independent scientific discipline and health profession in the 20th century. Through a rigorous analysis of the relationship between the body, the psyche, and movement, the author examines how various scientific perspectives—ranging from ancient philosophy to modern neuroscience and psychoanalysis—have shaped our understanding of the person. The book serves as a historical and scientific manual, providing both a theoretical framework and a practical guide for psychomotricians and health professionals, with the goal of fostering individual and social well-being through a multidisciplinary approach to human care.
