The forfeiture of humanity and the estrangement of human being have been the subject of discussion today. The rise and development of psychosomatic medicine may be said to be a natural sequence because the object of medicine cannnot be thought of without human beings.Nursing, which plays a part in the total medical care system, has also changed the quality of its activity in conformity with the expanded concept of medical care. It is evident that underneath this change is the philosophy of psychosomatic medicine.Psychosomatic medicine urges us to recognize again that the object of medical care is "the human being" and not "material things". It has replaced the existing "dehumanized medicine" with "medicine of the whole person has psychological pains as well as deseased organs." This means that psychosomatic medicine deals with the human being who is an integrated whole of subjective, independent, creative and social existence.This trend also has percolated into the nursing field, and resulted in the practice of integrated nursing. To be concrete, patient-centered nursing, continuous nursing, and nursing may be cited.These activities take different forms but their aim remains the same, that is, to extensively accept man as a whole being, and look at the problems of health not only from the physical point of view, but also from the psycosocial as well, and furthermore in their mutual relations.Assistance and care can be given in a most suitable manner on the basis of this holistic approach.In realizing such activities, it must be considered that necessary assistance should be extended without spoiling the potentiality of the patients, but rather to fully develop and facilitate their possibilities autonomy, so that they may plan to develop and use their abilities to deal with their future problems.This is the so-caled "person-centered nursing, " and true nursing can be found in the process of putting this philosophy into daily practice.Can't this be called "creative nursing"?
