[Aristoteles redivivus or small repetitorium of Aristotelian methodology regarding problems of psychosomatic medicine].

Present-day biological medicine has not reconciled the modern heritage of mechanistic conception of causality, which in many aspects limits the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of contemporary physicians. If such reduced principle of causality is confronted with Aristotelian conception of four types of disease causes and with the possibility to use it in the study of life nature (and therefore also in medicine), non-trivial differences will be revealed, which can at least bring some inspiration to present day physicians. The contemporary psychosomatically thinking physicians are in a similar position from which Aristotle criticized his foregoers for insufficient explanation of the principle of cause and effect. Medical doctors have many common points with Aristotle and that is why it is possible to speak, with certain hyperbole, about renewal of Aristotelian conceptions in some of the new trends of contemporary medicine, where the present-day mechanistic mentality is replaced with ecosystematic thinking.

[Psychosomatics is "expensive"].

Experience shoves that number of diseases where recognition and treatment is without limits of classical medicine is rising, however it is fully within the competence of psychosomatic approach. It does not concern the classical classification into organic and functional defects, but it concerns the possibility of complex approach. The theorem of "diagnosis per exclusionem" is still valid, as well as it is true that the means of medicine end at its biological limitations. We consider stressing in our article that psychosomatic diseases or psychosomatic patients do not exist and psychosomatics is not and independent specialization. Psychosomatics is, as inseparable unity of psychic and somatic activities, each human being. Complex biopsychosocial (psychosomatic) approach is the way of thinking and work, which considers human in unrepeatable oneness and context of his life. It does not mean to underestimate objective biological findings and results of instrumentally investigation, but their implanting into the complex network of consequences of the patient's life in order to choose the most appropriate methods of the care of the individual in healthiness and disease.

[Present day psychosomatic medicine].

Article presents the development of psychosomatic medicine, respectively that of behavioral or anthropological medicine, stressing they do not belong to medical disciplines but they represent a way of thinking, which aims to introduce knowledge of humanistic sciences into the classical medicine and to change the orientation of contemporary medicine from the disease to the diseased person. Historically, the new approach represents a systemic course, which leads to the general theory of systems and to cybernetics. These are mathematical and logic sciences, which can be applied in every situation where complex manifestations have to be handled. Problems of human health and disease definitely represent such complexity. Systemic theories also develop as well as their implementation into the medicine. Formulation of the bio-psycho-social approach or the movement of family (systemic) therapy verifies the theory.
