注意欠如・多動症（ADHD）の身体性研究の鳥瞰図をえがく：「生きられた身体」の現象学的視点から

抄録

ADHD has been, like many other psychiatric disorders, considered a brain disorder. In mainstream scientific research on ADHD, the roles of body systems other than the brain, such as the autonomic nervous system or musculoskeletal system, have largely been neglected despite the possibility that they may play an important role. An even more problematic issue in ADHD research than the tendency to neglect the objective physical body is that the lived and subjective bodily experiences of people with ADHD have received little attention. In this review paper, the authors put forward a more embodied view on ADHD from the Merleau-Pontian perspective of the “lived body.” From this perspective, we summarize existing psychological/rehabilitation-scientific/philosophical/anthropological research on the “embodiment” (in a broader sense) of ADHD, and propose a new way to understand people with ADHD: they are those who have dysfunctions in their body schema, and because of that, they tend to struggle more and to experience less smoothness than their non-ADHD peers when trying to perform a task in their daily life, or, more generally, when acting in the environment around them. Finally, based on this new understanding of ADHD, the authors suggest that motor learning through mindful movement interventions, such as the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education, may be useful in the context of developmental support for individuals with ADHD.
