This paper suggests that the paradigm of the lived-body developed by Straus , Merleau - Ponty and others has important implications for medical practice and theory. Certain recognized flaws in modern medicine, such as its reductionist tendencies and lack of emphasis on preventive measures are shown to be related to the exclusive use of a Cartesian notion of embodiment . Increased attention to the paradigm of the lived-body emphasizing its unity, purposiveness and " enworldment " could help to beneficially reorient practice. Moreover, this portrayal of the body as an intentional entity may provide a better tool than the traditional view for conceptualizing the psychological and psychosocial components of disease etiology, as well as some newly developed modes of treatment.
本文认为，施特劳斯、梅洛 - 庞蒂等人所发展的身体体验范式对医学实践和理论具有重要意义。现代医学中一些公认的缺陷，如还原论倾向和对预防措施的忽视，被证明与排他性地使用笛卡尔式的身体概念有关。更多地关注身体体验范式，强调其统一性、目的性和“在世性”，可能有助于有益地重新定位实践。此外，将身体描绘为一个意向性实体，可能比传统观点提供更好的工具，用于概念化疾病病因的心理和社会心理成分，以及一些新发展的治疗模式。
