Description The article deals with psychosomatic perspective in medicine that provides more space and more attention to both a subjective world of a patient and to his/her individual story as a significant context of being ill. In the article, some psychotherapy approaches are discussed, particularly those, that are beneficial not only for somatising patients but also for patients with certain chronic diseases. Several possible steps are suggested that could contribute to enhancement of psychosomatic thinking and biopsychosocial model in medicine.
