Rezumat

By psychosomatic disorders we understand certain organic or functional visceral disorders partially or totally caused by psycho-affective factors. A person with such a disorder may have several vague medical problems, although physical examination and clinical investigations reveal no clear somatic cause. Psychosomatic medicine is based on the fact that emotions can cause marked changes in organic function - this has been demonstrated and confirmed experimentally (Alexander et al., 1968). We can consider most diseases to be psychosomatic because they involve the mind (psychic) and the body (somatic). The supremacy of the psyche over the biophysiological explains why a strong emotion can paralyze muscle strength, can cause certain spontaneous organic "falls" but also spectacular healings. In the therapeutic practice in the case of psychosomatic disorders, the authors do not follow a specific psychotherapy technique, but an approach combined with the predominance of meditative states that offer the transcendence of consciousness at different existential levels in space and time (knowledge of one's own standard-state (usual), knowledge of the content of the subconscious, self-acceptance, the "forgiveness" procedure, awareness of inner conflicts, knowing and relating to one's own body, etc.). Working methods with psychosomatic patients, psychoeducation, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, biofeedback, guided imagery, metaphors, stress management, supportive therapy are currently used. It is important to note that success in psychotherapy appears to be less dependent on the respective technique, than on the psychotherapist’s skill or mastery with which treats the patient's problems (Mate, Ialom, Van Der Kolk, etc.).
