Abstract
A perspective on health and illness that focuses on both psychological and biological factors has existed for centuries. Some thousand years ago, Socrates recognized that soma and psyche interacted as contributors to health and illness. The concept of soma represented what is considered today the empirical approach to medicine, while the psyche reflected its more esoteric aspects. Despite this early emphasis on the interaction of mind and body, most conceptualizations of illness have been dominated by a reductionist principle that focuses solely on the biological aspects of disease.
