A Scoping Review and Integrated Model of Embodiment in Psychosis
PsyArXiv March 11, 2026 preprint DOI: 10.31234/osf.io/dnt4v_v1
Summary
This scoping review synthesizes existing research on how bodily experiences—embodiment—relate to psychosis. It proposes an integrated model linking altered body perception, interoception, and sensorimotor processes to psychotic symptoms. The review finds that disturbances in embodiment are common in psychosis and may contribute to symptoms like delusions and hallucinations. The integrated model aims to guide future research and clinical interventions by highlighting the role of the body in psychotic disorders.
