Šamanství, léčitelství, moderní medicína a psychoterapie I.: Psychosomatické hledisko (Shamanism, Healing, Modern Medicine and Psychotherapy I: The Psychosomatic perspective)

Abstract

The relationship between body and mind, so-called psychosomatic problem, is something addressed not only in psychosomatic medicine but also in various contrasting ways in historically traditional treatment systems. In this context the author takes a comparative look at (traditional medicine), shamanism and magic, healing and psychotherapy. In the comparison the basic definition of the sick person emerges in each case. The author points out the reductive features in these definitions. He sees psychotherapy, especially Dasein-analytical psychotherapy as a distinctive and new in its view of the person, the sickness and its treatment.
