Overview

Systems theory, ecologic anthropology, the understanding of humankind and its environment in an organic unit or the interpretation of humankind and its inanimate environment in one unit, as a human/non-human hybrid, all help to understand psychosomatics as a part of human ecology. The disease is a coded message from fate. However, the patient is the protagonist of their fate, and fate is shaped by the dramatics played out on a socio-psychological stage. Disease happens in the body's evolutionary structure, but this story is locked into the microecology of the inner world and the natural and sociocultural macroecology of existence. It is this eco-logic that creates the context for signals of socio-psychoimmunology. When pursuing the discovery of information on disease events, the neuroendocrine and immunology signals turn into reporting signals, psychoimmunology becomes a multi-dimensional semiotic problem, the evolutionary background of signals turns into etymology, and stress and its consequences become a narrative. Life events are in the center of attention of cultural psychoimmunology and offer an area where the social psychophysiology recognitions observed in the sociocultural atmosphere of a given world and life provide strategic information for psychosomatics and narrative medicine.
