日本心身医学会が約半世紀を経過するにあたり,今回これまでの歴史を振り返り,東邦大学心療内科の歩みと関東地方会の活動に焦点を当て記述した.東邦大学心療内科は1980年10月に東邦大学第2内科から分離独立して設立されたのがその始まりである.当初は心身医学研究室としてスタート.1991年5月に心身医学講座に昇格し今日に至っている.筆者は東邦大学心療内科教授として1980年10月より1999年3月まで在職しその発展に務め,1999年4月より坪井教授が後継者となり現在活躍中である.これまでの研究活動の概要にも触れた後,関東支部の活動についてこれまでの推移をまとめて概説した.関東地区は支部の中で最も会員数が多く,年3回にわたり地方会を開催し,1963年11月にスタートして以来,2007年3月までに109回開催されている.節目となる50回および100回地方会開催時には出版記念(抄録集)や功績者の表彰などを行っている.

Approximately fifty years have passed since the Japanese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine was established. To mark this juncture, I looked back on the history of this Society, and wrote this paper by focusing on the steps taken by Department of Psychosomatic Medicine Toho University and the activities of the Kanto Regional Chapter. Department of Psychosomatic Medicine Toho University was established in October 1980 after it spun off from Second Department of Internal Medicine Toho University. Initially, it started as the Laboratory of Psychosomatic Medicine, and was promoted in May 1991 to be named the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine which still exists to this day. I served as a professor of Department of Psychosomatic Medicine Toho University from October 1980 to March 1999 and worked to make the department develop and grow. I was succeeded in April 1999 by Professor Tsuboi, who still remains active in his post. In my paper, I first provided an overview of the past research activities, then outlined the activities of the Kanto Chapter by summarizing past trends and developments. Of all the Society's chapters, the Kanto region has the largest number of members. It holds regional meetings three times a year. Since starting these meetings in November 1963, a total of 109 such events have been held up to March 2007. At the 50th and 100th regional meetings, commemorative publications (a collection of abstracts), awarding of individuals with distinguished achievements, and other events were carried out to celebrate these turning points.
