Psychosomatic research is concerned with the problems of ascertaining, defining and explaining the interaction of phenomena belonging to the psychic and somatic systems of reference. Most of the contributions can be grouped in three main areas: research based on clinical data, the experimental approach of connections between physiological and psychological data and the elaboration of conceptual tools permitting to deal with the relationship between psychic and somatic phenomena. A restricted survey of the principal contributions and new perspectives in each of these areas is offered. We are far from a unifying und integrating theory of psychosomatic interaction, but the field of psychosomatic research remains an exciting challenge, because it embraces the problems of life and human nature itself.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
