	Psychosomatic illness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A psychosomatic illness is one with physical manifestations and perhaps a supposed psychological cause (see psychogenic: caused psychologically).
		If the illness is genuinely psychosomatic this may or may not be sufficient, but it can also be a very dangerous thing to do as many serious illnesses, such as heart disease and cancer, have initially vague symptoms.
		In other cases appropriate treatment of the psychosomatic illness is called psychosomatic therapy.

	Hypnosis in Psychosomatic Medicine
		In the 20th century and especially after 1940, a group of illnesses was identified as "psychosomatic" in response to widespread observations that the patient's emotional state had clear repercussions on the manifestations of the disease.
		The field of psychosomatic medicine is especially fascinating because it directly opens theoretical doors to issues concerning the relationship of the body to the mind.
		Alexander (1934) stated that psychosomatic illnesses were mediated only through the autonomic nervous system--by definition--and that, in contrast to conversion hysteria, did not have specific symbolic meanings; rather, he felt they derived from chronic psychological states connected to unconscious drives in the context of constitutional predisposing factors.
