The Psychosomatic Medicine Center of Sichuan Taikang Hospital

关于四川泰康医院之心身医学

The Psychosomatic Medicine Center of Sichuan Taikang Hospital is highly regarded in promoting the integration of mental and physical aspects at the forefront of medicine. As a strategic cornerstone within the hospital, the center is distinguished both within the Southwest China and across the nation for its distinctive development and influence. Professor Sun Xueli, the founder and director of the center, has dedicated decades to this field, advancing a “Holistic Medicine” principle that emphasizes comprehensive treatment for both body and mind. This approach focuses on the interaction between physical and mental health to enhance patients’ quality of life from a holistic medical perspective.

Psychosomatic medicine is not merely an independent discipline; it is a guiding principle woven into medical practice. The onset and progression of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are shaped not only by biological and genetic factors but also by a complex interplay of psychosocial factors, including a patient’s living environment, social and cultural background, interpersonal relationships, and lifestyles etc. In a more specific context, psychosomatic medicine and mental illnesses, emphasizing individualized treatment plans that address each patient’s unique psychological and social circumstances.

The growing demand for psychosomatic medicine highlights the far-reaching value of this emerging paradigm in healthcare. Initiated under the pioneering vision of Professor Sun, the Psychosomatic Medicine Center at Sichuan Taikang Hospital provides specialized medical support in areas such as emotion management and sleep disorders, with particular success in the integrated treatment of emotional disorders—including anxiety and depression—and chronic physical conditions, for instance, hypertension, diabetes and chronic pain etc. Additionally, the center has established dedicated services for adolescent mental health, conducting thorough investigations and precise differentiation for complex psychosomatic conditions, and building a robust base of clinical data and practical expertise.

When mentioning the support from Sichuan Taikang Hospital, Professor Sun said, “The platform Taikang provided has offered me with the opportunity to realize my ideal vision of psychosomatic medicine.” This open and supportive atmosphere has facilitated innovation in psychosomatic medicine and interdisciplinary integration, advancing the delivery of comprehensive mind-body healthcare services and providing more personalized and systematic medical care for a greater number of individuals.

四川泰康医院心身医学中心在推动医学前沿的心身结合方面备受瞩目，作为医院的战略中心之一，其发展路径和专业影响力在西南地区乃至全国范围内屈指可数。心身医学中心主任孙学礼教授深耕这一领域数十年，倡导“大医学”理念，将身体与心理的综合治疗作为发展的核心模式，倡导身体与心理的双向调节，致力于从整体医学视角改善患者的生活质量。

心身医学不仅是一个独立的学科，更是一种贯穿医学实践的理念。慢性非传染性疾病的发生和发展不仅与生物遗传基础有关，也与患者的自然环境、社会文化背景、人际关系、生活事件等心理社会因素息息相关。狭义上，心身医学侧重与应激、情绪相关的身体疾病与精神疾病的研究与治疗，强调通过理解患者的心理和社会因素，提供更贴合个体的治疗方案。

心身医学日渐增长的需求凸显了这一新兴医学模式的广泛价值。在孙教授的带领下，四川泰康医院心身医学中心在情绪管理、睡眠障碍等方面提供专业医疗支持，尤其在焦虑、抑郁等情绪障碍和高血压、糖尿病等慢性躯体疾病的综合调理上具有显著成效。同时，中心针对青少年心理健康问题设有专项诊疗服务，为复杂的心身疾病提供深入研究与细致分类，积累了丰富的临床数据和实践经验。

谈到四川泰康医院的支持时，孙教授表示：“泰康的平台给了我一种想象力，让我可以放开手脚去实践自己的心身医学理念。”这种开放与支持的环境，使心身医学的创新和多学科融合成为可能，推动了全面身心健康支持服务的落地，为更多患者提供更加贴心和系统的医疗保障。

Core Services

心身医学中心开展业务

1. Sleep Disorders and Related Issues
Sleep-related issues and disorders are among the more typical challenges addresses in psychosomatic medicine. The Psychosomatic Medicine Center prioritizes sleep disorders in both clinical and research activities, with a particular focus on the two most prevalent types: Psychophysiological insomnia and insomnia associated with physical conditions or bodily issues. Together, these types of insomnia account for approximately 40% of all cases, making them a core focus of the center’s initiatives.

2. Treatment and Research of Mental Disorders
The treatment and research of mental disorders are closely linked to both psychological and biological factors. For example, depressive disorders are associated with cognition, emotions, neuroendocrine function, and the CNS electrophysiology; anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders are related to cognitive and emotional functions as well as neuroendocrine factors; and bipolar disorder is affected by biological rhythms and imbalanced neuroendocrine level. Addressing mental disorders from a psychosomatic perspective represents a progressive approach in both domestic and international healthcare.

3. Psychosomatic Treatment and Research of Physical Illnesses
The development of physical illnesses and symptoms is influenced by genetic factors, personality traits, and emotional factors. Conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, functional dyspepsia, metabolic syndrome, and chronic pain illustrate this association. Integrated psychosomatic therapy of physical illnesses and symptoms is a focal area for the center and remains at the forefront of both national and international practices. In the past five years, the team has conducted and continues to pursue psychosomatic therapy and experimental research in this field. This work has earned national awards, patents, and numerous international publications, providing strong support for center’s ongoing initiatives.

4. Treatment and Research on Psychosomatic Issues in Children and Adolescents
Psychological issues among children and adolescents are currently a prominent concern within China. However, a comprehensive approach to psychosomatic issues in children and adolescents should be prioritized. Many challenges they face are inherently psychosomatic, such as metabolic syndrome and obesity, as well as mood instability tied to genetics, personality, cognition, psychological development, family relationships and etc. Additionally, issues arising from stress, as thyroid dysfunction and even tumor risks, are drawing heightened focus.
Presently, the focus on child and adolescents’ health in China leans heavily toward psychological aspects, with relatively less attention on biological factors. At the Psychosomatic Medicine Center at Sichuan Taikang Hospital, the objective is to develop a distinctive model for psychosomatic treatment tailored specifically for children and adolescents. Given the broad scope and priority of psychosomatic issues in children and adolescents, this field holds considerable potential for further expansion.

5. Psychological Counseling and Psychotherapy

(1) Counseling for the psychological issues of sub-healthy populations, including marital relationships, intimate relationships, and parent-child relationships, aims to enhance quality of life and prevent the occurrence of physical and mental conditions.

(2) Correction of behavioral issues in children and adolescents and guidance on guardian roles.

(3) Given that the onset of physical illnesses is associated with personality traits and psychological stress, psychological counseling and therapy can serve as supplementary or primary treatments for various physical conditions

(4) Growth and development education for children and adolescents

(5) Psychological health counseling for the elderly

1.睡眠问题及睡眠障碍

睡眠问题及睡眠障碍是较典型的心身医学问题。睡眠障碍是心身医学中心开展临床及研究工作的重点之一，其中，由于生理心理性失眠及其它躯体疾病及躯体问题相关的失眠发生率约占40%，因而是本中心临床工作及研究关注的重中之重。

2.精神疾病的诊疗和研究

精神疾病同样既和心理因素有关，也和生物学因素相关，如抑郁障碍与认知、情感、神经内分泌的关系及中枢神经系统电生理的关系；焦虑障碍及强迫障碍与认知、情感、神经内分泌的关系；双相情感障碍与生物节律以及神经内分泌的关系等等。从心身角度综合处理精神疾病是国内、国际的前卫理念。

3.躯体疾病的心身治疗及研究

躯体疾病及躯体症状的发生基础与遗传及个性有关，同时与情绪密切相关，如高血压、糖尿病、肠激惹综合征、功能性消化不良、代谢综合征、慢性疼痛等。对躯体疾病及躯体症状的心身综合治疗是工作的重点，也处于国内和国际前卫。本中心成员近5年内进行过并正在进行躯体疾病心身总共和治疗及实验研究，已经获国内成果奖、专利，并在国际上发表了数篇论文，是在本中心开展这方面工作的有力支撑。

4.未成年人的心身问题诊疗及研究

未成年人的心理问题是目前国内关注的热点。其实应该将未成年人的心身问题综合关注。未成年问题应均属于心身问题，如代谢综合征及单纯性肥胖问题；情绪不稳定所涉及到的遗传、个性、认知、心理发育、家庭关系等问题；未成年人应激所产生的甲状腺功能损害、肿瘤问题等。国内关注未成年人问题目前注重心理方面，对生物学方面相对关注较少。本中心在这方面工作的目的是希望形成特有的未成年心身治疗模式。由于未成年人的心理问题及心身问题涉及面很广，且目前为国内关注的重点，因此这个领域有较大的拓展空间。

5.心理咨询和心理治疗

(1)亚健康人群的心理问题辅导，如婚姻关系、亲密关系、亲子关系等，从而提升生活治疗，预防躯体及精神疾病的发生；

(2)未成年人的行为问题矫正及家长角色的替代；

(3)由于躯体疾病的发生与个性有关，也与心理应激有关，因此心理咨询及治疗可以作为各种躯体疾病的辅助治疗或主要治疗之一；

(4)未成年人的成长教育；

(5)老年心理健康辅导。
