Body Integrity Dysphoria (BID) presents a marked incongruity between an individual’s physical body and their desired bodily state. Capodici (2023) examine the psychological distress experienced by individuals with BID, highlighting the potential insights afforded by a first-person perspective in research. Philosophy is suggested as a means to investigate the subjective disruption in BID, specifically the detachment between the physical body and the individual’s subjective sense of corporeality. Coined as «lack of body adherence» (Capodici 2023), this concept distinguishes body dysphoria from body disownership. The aim of the present contribution is to provide a neural account for this lack of body adherence and the interconnection to body ownership, with a view to potential therapeutic interventions. Possible alterations in pain processing in BID are proposed to account for self-damaging behaviours as a solution for the lack of body adherence
