日本心身医学会の発展と東京大学における心身医学の歩み(シンポジウム : 日本における心身医学の歩み,2007年,第48回日本心身医学会総会(福岡))  [in Japanese] The Establishment of the Japanese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine and the Development of Psychosomatic Medicine at the University of Tokyo(Symposium : The History of Psychosomatic Medicine in Japan)  [in Japanese]

日本心身医学会は,池見酉次郎を中心にして1959年に設立された.最初の20年は「草を分けて」の歩みであった.次の20年は「道をつくり」の歩みであった.そこで,この時期を中心に述べる.1979年に日本医学会に加入できた.1996年には標榜科が認可され,1997年に社団法人になった.これで,学会は学問的にも,診療上でも,法律的にも確立された.これを基に,今日まで発展を続けている.東京大学における心身医学の歩みについては芽生えの頃と心療内科が講座として認められ確立する時期を中心に述べる.日本心身医学会設立時の役員には東京大学教授が9名連名している.また,第2回総会は田坂定孝東京大学教授が主催した.しかし,実際に土台作りをしたのは1963年に発足した東京大学精神身体医学懇話会の中堅および若手のメンバー(石川中,石崎達,末松弘行ら)であった.そして,1972年に石川を中心にして,附属病院分院に診療科として心療内科が開設された.初めは「イバラの道」の歩みであった.固有の外来診療の場所を得て,臨床および臨床研究が進められた.第2代教授の筆者のときには,研究および臨床は摂食障害に関して行い,臨床実習を含む教育システムを確立した.そして,1993年に講座に昇格した.その後,第3代久保木富房の時に,本院と統合され固有の病室が開設された.また,第4代赤林朗により新しい研究の開発が図られている.

The Japanese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine was founded in 1959, with Yujiro Ikemi as its central figure. The first 20 years were a time of painstaking preparatory work. The next 20 years were spent in figurative road-building, and that time is the focus of this account. The Japanese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine was able to join the Japanese Association of Medical Sciences in 1979. The field represented by the Society was officially approved as a specialty in 1996, and the Society achieved the legal status of an incorporated association in 1997. Thus the Society came to be established in academic terms, in clinical terms, and in legal terms, and it has continued to develop on that foundation up to the present. The development of psychosomatic medicine at the University of Tokyo is described with a focus on the first period of growth and on the period of establishment of the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine when a course on the subject was approved. The members of the board of the Japanese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine at the time that organization was founded included nine professors from the University of Tokyo. Moreover, it was Professor Sadataka Tasaka of the University of Tokyo who organized the second general assembly of the Society. However, the work of building the department's foundation was actually done by the mid-level and younger faculty members who founded the University of Tokyo Psychosomatic Medicine Discussion Group in 1963, including Hitoshi Ishikawa, Tatsushi Ishizaki, and Hiroyuki Suematsu as representative members. Then the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine was established as a clinical department in the University of Tokyo Branch Hospital in 1972, due in large part to the efforts of Dr. Ishikawa. The department moved along a thorny path to start. It obtained its own location for outpatient treatment, and made advances in clinical practice and clinical research. Under the second professor (this writer) to head the department, research and clinical practice were conducted on eating disorders, and an educational structure was established that included clinical training. This was elevated to the status of an authorized medical course in 1993. During the time of the third professor, Tomifusa Kuboki, the department was then integrated into the main hospital and acquired its own ward. The fourth, Professor Akira Akabayashi, has been engaging in the development of new research programs.
