SALGADO, Guilherme de Andrade  and  PEIXOTO JUNIOR, Carlos Augusto. Anthropogenesis of organic diseases: a new vision in psychosomatics. Est. Inter. Psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.1, pp.200-225. ISSN 2236-6407.  https://doi.org/10.5433/2236-6407.2021v12n1p200.

The debate about the mind-body relationship, one of the greatest philosophical problems, permeates other areas of knowledge. From the point of view of psychotherapeutic practice, care for patients with organic diseases contributed to the emergence of the psychosomatic field. Initially, this article aims to present the main concepts of Chicago and Paris Psychosomatic Schools, the most relevant in the West. In response to these views, considered reductionist and exaggeratedly intrapsychic, studies on the human bond will be presented. From this description, a theoretical proposal to understand the psychosomatic phenomenon will emerge, taking as matrix the conceptual considerations of Danilo Perestrello and Abram Eksterman, Brazilian psychoanalysts, whose nodal point is the understanding of somatic disease in its anthropogenic dimension. The ideas contained in this thought will be the basis for the notion of somatic illness as an answer to the relational field difficulties.

Keywords : psychosomatics; psychoanalysis; mind-body relationship; organic illness.
