试论中医学对社会因素与疾病关系的认识

Preliminary study on the relationship recognized by TCM between social factor and disease

中医学在长期的医疗实践中逐渐形成了对疾病认识上的整体观,十分重视自然环境、社会环境以及心理因素对人体健康与疾病的影响,很早以前就认识到社会因素在疾病发生、发展过程中的作用,因此在医者诊断、治疗的过程中将环境因素考虑进来,因人而异,采取个性化的治疗。中医学"环境—形神医学"模式具有其科学内涵和积极的现实意义。

Chinese medicine had evolved an organic conception of the human body, viewing its various parts and diseases as forming an organic whole over a long period of time, and paid a great attention to natural environment, social environment and psychology of patients when a disease occurring. Chinese medicine emphasizes that doctors should suit different measures to individual patients and that factors of environment should be considered before a disease is diagnosed and treated, lastly, a method of therapy of individualization should be used. The medicine model of ＂environment, body and spirit of TCM＂ has substantial contents in guiding doctors of TCM to diagnose and treat diseases.
