AB - Objectives: Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM) is a Traditional Korean Medicine based on the naturalhuman emotions of joy(喜), anger(怒), sorrow(哀), and pleasure(樂). Therefore, in this paperI would like to construct SCM as a Mind-Body Medicine by studying the relation betweenSCM and psychotherapy focusing on control of emotions.
Methods : I have researched the psychological characteristics of the four human physicalconstitutions, as described by SCM, and psychotherapy with an emphasis on thenatural human emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure as discussed in the worksof Lee Je-ma(李濟馬, 1837-1900).
Results and Conclusions : The joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure in SCM do not simply refer tohuman emotions. They have an inherent nature(性), emotion(情) and Qi(氣). They aretied to the psychological characteristics of the four human physical constitutions andthe relationship between body and mind. The turning point in the transformation fromSasang philosophy to Sasang therapy lies in these emotions.
Sasang Constitutional Medicine, which focuses on 'mind matter' and diagnosingillness, emphasizes medicine and food(藥餌), along with health maintenance(調養). Inparticular, health maintenance requires the following mental practices. First of all,through countinuous awarness(恒戒) and self-reflection(自反), one needs to practicemoderation(中) and restraint(節) of the emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure.
Therefore, 'inward reflection while sitting(坐思)' is necessary. In SCM, this is verysimilar to meditation in that it enhances psychological self-control through mentaltraining or practice.
