The Background of Making Subject Maturing Model : We propose the perspective that Levels of Personality Organizaion, Five Steps of Psychosomatic Treatment and M. Mahler's Developmental Model are different types of scale rating Subject Maturing Stages. We combined and integrated these three paradigms into one comprehensive model of whole healing process : Subject Maturing Model. We intended this to help psychosomatic doctors, nurses and therapists make their interventions more suitable for patients' levels of personality organization and developmental stages. Naturally, the treatment satisfying this comprehensive paradigm was expected to be more effective than those satisfying only one paradigm of the three. We tested this hypothesis by analyzing a case whose pain attacks had disappeared under treatment. Case Study : In the period while the author's treatment was effective, the combination of therapeutic interventions were considered to satisfy Subject Maturing Model. Hypothetical therapeutic interventions satisfying only one of the three paradigms were considered to be less effective than those which had really been made. In contrast, in the period while our treatment was ineffective, the combination of therapeutic interventions were considered not to satisfy Subject Maturing Model.
