Features: Psychosomatic medicine is an interdisciplinary field that applies the principle of "mind-body connection" to study human health and disease prevention and treatment. It has developed rapidly in recent years and has garnered significant attention from the medical community both domestically and internationally. It emphasizes the holistic view of "mind-body unity," discarding the narrow, one-sided, and human-divorced medical perspectives that were once prevalent under the biomedical model. It requires that the process of medical treatment must recognize health and disease from a holistic, comprehensive, and diversified perspective, and apply this approach to clinical practice, teaching, and research. This textbook compiles the latest research findings from both domestic and international sources, as well as the clinical experience of medical experts. It focuses on clinical perspectives, aiming to help students firmly grasp the theory of "mind-body connection" and apply it flexibly in medical practice. During the writing process, efforts were made to adhere to the principles of scientific rigor, ideological depth, advanced concepts, and practicality, striving to achieve: a standardized system, rich content, clear organization, strong applicability, and ease of comprehension. This textbook is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in medical schools, as well as clinicians in various medical disciplines for study and reference.
