Psychosomatic medicine


This framework, modified from the one originally proposed by Lipowski, will serve to highlight the areas where a psychosomatic integration may have important clinical and research implications. The emergence of mind-body medicine and its complex relationships with psychosomatic medicine and behavioral medicine make it necessary to redefine the aims and methods of psychosomatic medicine, after Lipowski’s reviews in 1977 and 1986.



Psychosomatic medicine provides a comprehensive framework for a holistic (bio psychosocial) consideration of patient care encompassing:




  • The role of psychosocial factors in affecting individual vulnerability to all types of diseases


  • The interaction between psychosocial and biological factors in the course and outcome of a disease


  • The application of psychological therapies to the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of physical illness.
