Summary

So far we have looked at the enactive account of the relation between body and mind and saw that following the life–mind continuity thesis we need to understand both physiological and experiential processes as part of a larger system of living beings interacting with their worlds. This relational approach undercuts the dualist confusions that stem from an inner/outer mind and world. Although the enactive account is a promising basis for an integrative framework of psychiatric disorders, it does not yet suffice.
