Psychosomatic disorders are prevalent in modern society. Asthma is known to be the classic example of psychosomatic disease, which is based on both physiological and psychological causes, in particular, alexithymia. The inability of individuals with high levels of alexithymia to regulate their emotions at the neocortical level contributes to the physiological responses to stressful situations, thereby creating conditions conducive to the development, as well as to the progression of the disease. The authors show that body-oriented psychocorrection plays an essential role in the reductive treatment of bronchial asthma, increases the efficiency of standard therapies, enhances adequate patient’s behavior outside the hospital and improves their quality of their life.
