“…Sixth, many psychiatric disorders, which may be risk factors for PP (e.g., BD, depression and schizophrenia) are associated with sleep disorders, as previously reported [30]. Additionally, sensory deprivation is a potential contributing factor, given that chronic sleep deprivation combined with sensory deprivation is more likely to be associated with psychosis [37]. Therefore, these potential confounding variables in the association between sleep and PP should be taken into account for future research.…”

Sleep problems are extremely common during the postpartum period. The role of sleep in the development of postpartum psychosis (PP) is, however, still under-researched. This narrative review aims to (1) provide a summary of the existing evidence for the associations between sleep problems and PP, (2) discuss the relevant risk factors associated with sleep problems and PP, and (3) suggest future lines of research in this area. Some of the existing literature suggests an association between sleep problems, specifically insomnia, sleep loss and sleep disruption during pregnancy and postpartum, and PP, with the most relevant risk factors including history of bipolar disorder and time of delivery. However, it is still unclear whether the previously mentioned sleep problems are a symptom of, or a trigger for PP. Thus, further research is needed to identify the specific role of sleep problems in PP, using longitudinal designs and more objective measures of sleep. This will allow appropriate detection, intervention and support for women experiencing and/or at risk for PP.

“…23 Similarly, in a retrospective piece, Jay Shurley suggests that one of SD's major contributions to psychology was the extent to which it illuminated 'a host of large and small obscurities in the multilevel relationships between humans and their human and nonhuman environment'. 24 A symposium at the 1964 annual meeting of the American Psychological Association became the basis of a 1969 volume edited by John Zubek that reviewed the state of the field. But some researchers were bemoaning the state of their field as assorted 'facts without a theory', and more worryingly, rife with methodological problems.…”

“…In stark contrast with the long-established applications of sensory and perceptual deprivation for the development of torture and confinement techniques (see Shurley [1992]; Rejali [2003]), perceptual deprivation is used in Nigredo as a means to unlock the potential of the human body for different modes of operation. The term "potential" is intended here as in the work of Canadian critical theorist Brian Massumi, that is, a latent quality or ability of a (living or nonliving) body that may be or may not be developed.…”

In the preface to his work The Body and Social Theory 2 [Shilling, 2012], British sociologist Chris Shilling explains how, in recent decades, the human body has become a popular matter of interest thanks to the advance in transplant surgery, stem-cell research and reproductive technology, and the public disputations over neuroscience claims and radical bodily modifications. Then he asks, "[h]ave we lost or gained control over our bodily identities, properties and capacities?" [Shilling, 2012, p. ix]. It is a sharp question, because it prompts for a reflection on distinct yet interrelated notions. More specifically, what does control over one's bodily identity mean? Do we control our body properties, or are they controlled by the media that condition the body in the first place? In our physical interaction with technology, are our body capacities the object or the subject of the action? The answer lies in understanding human subjectivity and technological individuality as two sides of the same iterative process. Human beings create technological artefacts which influence the formation of human subjectivity. In turn, the shifting characterization of human subjectivity prompts new directions for technical development. It is a self-organizational feedback loop. From this viewpoint, we can move beyond the idea where identity is controlled, and embrace a notion where human subjectivity emerges through the configuration of human bodies with technological bodies. The term "configuration" will be used in this chapter to indicate not a
