The psychosomatic perspective, which defends an ecobiopsychosocial view of health and illness, seeks to understand the simultaneity of body/mind existence in its interaction with the world, thus expanding the concept of health. Abandoning the persistent divide between becoming physically ill and becoming mentally ill and understanding the different ways of becoming ill as psychophysiological responses to life events, in a given internal and external context, it seeks a vision of health in complexity, rejecting linear perspectives that continually lead to a lack of responsibility relationship of the impact we have on each other's lives.
