CLEAR ALL
The term ‘psychosomatic’ means mind and body related. A psychosomatic disorder is a physical disease which is caused, or worsened, by mental factors. The term is also used when mental factors cause physical symptoms but where there is no physical disease.
Aside from being one of the most important proponents of psychoanalysis during the 20th century, Franz Alexander helped lay the foundations for psychosomatic medicine.
Alexander was a rare psychoanalytic pioneer who, despite a thorough grounding in classical Freudian theory, had the courage, vision, and flexibility to modify his thinking in the light of newer knowledge.
