Clothes Consciousness
What does what you wear say about who you are?
In Clothes Consciousness, Michael J. Lincoln Ph.D. explores one of the most overlooked dimensions of self-expression — the profound psychological messages encoded in our clothing, adornment, and bodily self-projection.
This unique reference dictionary is presented in two parts. The first offers an illuminating overview of the nature and function of clothing and bodily adornment, with exemplifications of the psychological meanings behind what we choose to wear. The second decodes the meaning of our difficulties with clothing and adornment — tearing, stains, damage, loss, and other troubles — with over 800 entries revealing what these experiences communicate about our inner world.
Inside this essential practitioner resource:
- The psychology of clothing, self-decoration, and bodily adornment
- 800+ dictionary entries — clothing troubles, stains, damage, and loss decoded
- How mismatched self-projection creates confusion, rejection, and disconnection
- The relationship between personal style and personality formation
- Insights into why we wear what we wear — and what it reveals about our soul
