General Psychosomatic Medicine

Peter Henningsen, Springer 2021

This book for physicians interested in psychosomatic medicine brings together the diverse empirical and conceptual developments that have emerged since the second half of the 20th century and reflects on their clinical significance. In particular, the scientific-theoretical starting point of psychosomatic medicine in relation to the subjective is addressed.

DOULEURS ET ÉMOTIONS

Anne-Françoise Allaz, Vigot, 2021

Are chronic illnesses, which affect 20% of the population, a fatal disease?

By integrating the emotional dimensions into their engagement in combined therapies, the people who suffer can positively influence the systems of disease control.

Uexküll – Psychosomatic Medicine

Karl Köhle, Wolfgang Herzog, Peter Joraschky, Johannes Kruse, Wolf Langewitz, Wolfgang Söllner (eds.)

8th edition, Elsevier

The “Uexküll” offers the reader the complete package with theoretical principles, diagnostics, therapeutic procedures and clinical practice. The focus of the book is on clinical practice with an orientation towards the biopsychosocial model. Numerous case examples and doctor-patient dialogs provide additional orientation.

A revised new edition will be available soon.

Annual Congress 2025

Save the date: 23 and 24 October 2025 in Bellinzona

The fire of slow medicine

Ticino invites you. Combine the next annual congress with a fall vacation on the southern side of the Alps!

Slow medicine – like slow food – has its roots in the Italian-speaking world: sobria, rispettosa e giusta means a moderate, respectful and fairer medicine of the future. The social, psychosocial aspect is the focus here.

The conference theme will be complemented by numerous state of the art lectures on general and specialized psychosomatic medicine as it is practiced in hospitals and clinics.
