Teaching psychosomatic medicine.
The authors want to present their experience over the last 20 years in teaching the psychosomatic approach to health professionals and students in their last years, i.e. medical doctors, psychologists, social workers, nurses and dentists. The teaching classes take up 2 years and their main function is to teach students psychosomatics as an approach, a proposal for an integral assistance in health care. They are aimed at emphasizing the human comprehension of pathology, trying to understand it within the scope of a historical and related process, without denying the organic reality of disease.
