Psychosomatic (behavioral) medicine is a field of medicine concerned with the development, integration, and application of knowledge in the biological, behavioral, psychological, and social sciences relevant to health and illness. It offers a broader view on the problem than EBM because in addition to disease also focuses on the patient.

Keywords: psychosomatic medicine; behavioral medicine; EBM; biomedical model; biopsychosocial model; DCPR
