Meta psychology and psychosomatics

"The human being is a psychosomatic unit

"The psychosomatic unit is composed of five systems: the psychic system, the central nervous system, the autonomic nervous system, the immune system and the genetic system. Theory of the five systems "

The development of psychosomatic clinic and theory has evolved considerably since the 1930s. We have progressively moved from a psychogenesis of somatic diseases to an approach that privileges the role of the functioning and dysfunction of the psychic apparatus in the etiology of somatic diseases, an approach of Pierre Marty and his colleagues of the "Paris School" founded at the Pitié-Salpêtrière University Hospital in the early 1960s. This approach, although it is called psychosomatic, privileged the psychic functioning in the relationship to the disease. It is still a psychoanalytical approach that privileges the mind in its relation to the body, but the explanations based on psychoanalysis are incomplete since psychoanalysis is not a discipline that proposes to understand somatic diseases. Psychoanalysis is only reserved for the functioning of the psychic system. Therefore, we are faced with a theoretical and clinical impasse.
