Abstract

As the cradle of psychosomatic medicine, Germany has a special historical background and philosophical tradition that attribute to the advantages and characteristics such as having a systemic view of psychiatry in general, the mature disciplinary system and medical insurance system, and the interdisciplinary research frontier that advances with the times, and therefore becomes a reference model for other countries. Having a review of the history development and an introduction of the present situation of psychosomatic medicine in Germany is conducive to the positioning of Chinese psychosomatic medicine in the field of international psychosomatic medicine, prepensely providing direction for the further development of psychosomatic medicine in China.
