The concept of "holism of body and spirit" originated in the pre-Qin period as a philosophical idea to understand the world,and later became an important theory adopted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Acupuncture,as a traditional TCM treatment modality,can be guided by the theory of "holism of body and spirit" in the clinical treatment of psychosomatic disorders. However,there is no clear and standardized operational model based on this theory currently. The combination of theory and practice is essential for the effective application and development of TCM. Currently,there are numerous schools and methods of acupuncture treatment for psychosomatic disorders,and the analytical perspectives on psychosomatic disorders vary,which leads to the complexity of integrating theory and practice and makes it difficult to conclude and summarize the standardized process. Given that TCM is a classical and time-honored medical science,tracing its historical origins and summarizing the diagnostic and treatment plans of different representative physicians might help in advancing acupuncture treatment for psychosomatic disorders. This paper analyzes and discusses the connection between philosophical ideas and medical theories,the application of theories into practice,and the analysis and summary of medical case literature,and puts forward the specific mode of acupuncture treatment of psychosomatic disorders,so as to provide new ideas and references for clinical practice.
