Psychosomatics – how it should be understood nowadays
Journal Title: Archives of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy - Year 2011, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
Some people still associate the term of psychosomatics with the past rather than with the present. Articles announcing the end of psychosomatics and the need to distinguish psychosomatic diseases are being published [1]. At the same time we observe reintroduction of psychosomatic out–patient consultations and psychosomatic wards to Polish health care system as well as establishment of wards for psychosomatic rehabilitation. The aim of the present publication is to provide medical doctors and psychologists who do not have close links with clinical and psychosomatic rehabilitation an up-to-date and accessible picture of the psychosomatics.
