Abstract
Psychosocial dynamics within the family are first touched upon. The physician should watch the signs and helpingly intervene. He has to acquire a valid picture of the family unit with its strengths and shortcomings in mind and body. Continued flight from pressure of vital issues can lead to family neurosis in the long run. How then, when an ill person is not really the carrier of disease in a causal-genetic sense? If he himself is only a ‘symptom’ of a much more widely encompassing disease unit that has grasped a social union like a family. Are we physicians and scientists in a position, as a consequence of our training, to see this possibility, or are such modes of thinking to be left to special medical fields like medical sociology? The isolated, sick person can show signs derived from a disturbed family relationship, particularly through psychosomatic disorders. Our therapeutical method of ‘psychosomatic confrontation’ is introduced.
