Abstract
The Oriental approach to life can contribute to the development of psychosomatic medicine in three major ways, revolving around its realization of the illusion of mind-body dualism, its development of practical somatopsychic techniques for learning self-control, and its orientation towards realizing our true nature.

While working to realize the integration of these varied approaches, we feel we are discovering some important clinical principles.
