The Systemic Approach to Psychosomatic Health in the Era of COVID-19 Pandemic
The paper is aimed to substantiate the prospects of using a systemic approach to maintaining and strengthening human psychosomatic health in the current period of the coronavirus pandemic. The systemic approach is based on the consideration of the human organism as a complex system or a risky structure in accordance with the conception of self-organized criticality within the framework of systems science. The systemic vision of human health consists in a) considering the human body as a complex system, where all organs are interconnected, b) overcoming of the Cartesian dualism, the opposition of body and mind, c) taking into account the person and his environment, Umwelt, d) understanding of psychological holism, the integrity of the relationships between a doctor and a patient.
