Psychosomatic medicine refers to an interdisciplinary medical specialty that studies the effects of behavioral, social and psychological factors on bodily functions and quality of life in both animals and human beings. Two distinguishing characteristics of psychosomatic practice are the clinical model of thinking and the holistic approach to patient management. The primary aim of psychosomatic medicine is to address the shortcomings in medical care, through the integration of novel operational tactics into clinical practice. Medical assessment and treatment can be enhanced through employment of psychosomatic medicine techniques, particularly with regard to lifestyle modification, medically unexplained symptoms and chronic diseases. Psychosomatic medicine is significant in clinical settings, where mental processes play a significant role in the medical results. It oversees the emotional and mental states as having the capability to affect the course of an illness. This book will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of psychosomatic medicine. Those with an interest in this field would find it helpful.
