CONCLUSION
Psychosomatic medicine is an interdisciplinary medical field studying
the relationships of social, psychological, and behavioral factors on bodily
processes and well-being in humans and animals. The influence that the mind has over physical processes — including the manifestations of physical disabilities
that are based on intellectual infirmities, rather than actual injuries or physical
limitations — is manifested in treatment by phrases such as the power of suggestion, the use of "positive
thinking" and concepts like "mind over matter".
