Abstract
Identidad y belleza aunque son conceptos manejados por el hombre desde sus orígenes pueden resultar difíciles de estudiar científicamente. La percepción de la identidad individual implica la experiencia de fenómenos perceptivos, emocionales y cognitivos, a través de los cuales se elabora la conciencia subjetiva de uno mismo.
Estas capacidades surgidas de la evolución del cerebro humano que ha llevado al desarrollo de diferentes logros evolutivos. Uno de ellos tiene que ver con la aptitud para percibir la belleza de los demás y de uno mismo. El atractivo personal no solo está determinado por las características físicas sino también por otros factores (personalidad, inteligencia, pertenencia a un grupo social, elegancia, etc.) complicados de definir (v. gr. ¿qué es la inteligencia o la elegancia?)...
Esta identidad está en la base de nuestra autoestima y proporciona a los otros claves de placer estético, de atracción sexual, de fertilidad, y de capacidad reproductiva asociadas a la salud y la juventud o al poder. Hay enfermedades como el cáncer o los trastornos de alimentación que pueden producir trastornos de identidad personal. Afrontar positivamente la enfermedad puede resultar extraordinariamente beneficioso para recuperar la salud, o al menos mantener una aceptable calidad de vida. Por ello, en el ámbito hospitalario ante diversas enfermedades resulta necesario desarrollar estrategias que permitan al paciente preservar la identidad personal y afrontar el deterioro producido por la enfermedad sin que se vea reducida la autoestima que deteriora su calidad de vida.

The perception of their own identity involves the experience of perceptual, emotional and cognitive phenomena, through which the subjective consciousness of oneself is made. These capabilities arising from human brain evolution has led to the development of different evolutive achievements. One of them has to do with the ability to perceive the beauty of others and one-self. The attractiveness is not only determined by the physical characteristics but also other factors contribute (personality, intelligence, membership to a group, elegance, etc.) and all these attributes are not easy to define (v.gr. what exactly means intelligence or elegance). This identity is the basis of our self-esteem and provides our congeners the keys to aesthetic enjoyment, sexual attraction, fertility and reproductive capacity associated with youth, health condition, power or strength. There are diseases like cancer or eating disorders that can cause various disorders (e.g. related to emotional control, self-esteem or identity). Positive coping with disease can be extremely beneficial to get healthy, or at least maintain an acceptable quality of life. Therefore, in the hospital setting is necessary to develop strategies that allow patients to preserve patient’s own identity and to cope with disease without showing low self-esteem that impairs their quality of life
