The ENPM is a discussion forum
To coordinate all
strength in the Psychosomatic/Behavioural field
to make common actions according healthcare
facilities in the European countries,
especially - on an European level - in primary
care and specialties. A sufficient
infrastructure in a EU healthcare system will be
triggered by European Guidelines in different
somatic diseases. This important tool has to be
discussed under psychosomatic aspects, moreover ENPM initiatives and coordinates actions for
common research funding in the European Union.
The ENPM is interdisciplinary
What
means that all professions working or doing
research in the medical field can take part
without preferences for any profession: medical
doctors in primary care, all kind of specialists
in psychiatry, internal medicine, gynaecology,
dermatology, etc; psychologists, sociologists,
nurses and other professions.
The ENPM is integrative
The scope
of clinical work and research is the whole
medical field and all sub-disciplines. What
means that psychosomatic medicine is dedicated
to the bio-psychosocial aspects of medicine,
including cognitions, emotions, behaviour and
physiology.
Rational discourse and scientific evidence are
the basis
But hermeneutic
methodology and other methodological inputs are
accepted, if it is necessary to understand human
complexity and human beings.
