Neither the psyche nor the soma should hold the limelight. They comprise but halves of the same circle without beginning or ending but with varying, alternating, or even coincidental lengths of arc. We cannot well consider them separately. Thus all of the practice of medicine itself is psychosomatic. We don''t need to use the term but it is well to recognize that there has been, along with overemphasis of the effect of the so-called alarm reaction and of unfavorable and unhappy emotions, a lack of recognition of the importance of the positive value of the beneficent emotions of courage, patience, faith, joy, and happiness.
