LSJ - Claiming the Body and Psyche!

[librarian]

Can either minion (acting minion or blocking minion) play
Psyche! after a Claiming the Body has been played? I think
no because combat is canceled...

As you may have noticed, Claiming the Body is an action modifier card,
which is played before combat. There's no window to play Psyche! at
that time.
