The traditional life concept of "body-mind holism" in Chinese medicine has drawn a special attention with the development of modern psychosomatic medicine. The "body-mind holism" is valuable in the guidance for clinical acupuncture practice, but, it is only remained on the theoretical significance by the medical masters in the past dynasties. In the paper, based on the understanding of Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic), the similarities and differences are compared between the body-mind theory and psychosomatic medicine. In association with clinical observation, from three aspects, i.e. body-mind pathogenesis, acupoint detection and observing the mind, and body-mind treatment, the guidance of "body-mind holism" is explored for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of acupuncture and moxibustion; the referents of "body" and "mind" are clarified in views of disease, diagnosis and treatment; and the treatment strategies of acupuncture and moxibustion are discussed in the perspective of "body-mind holism".
中医学传统的“形神一体”生命观，在现代心身医学的发展下得到新的关注。“形神一体观”对针灸临床实践具有直接的指导意义，但历代医家多停留在理论层面的讨论。本文主要从《黄帝内经》的认识出发，比较形神理论与心身医学的异同，结合临床观察，从形神病机、察神揣穴、形神治法3个方面论述“形神一体观”对针灸临床诊疗的指导，厘清了“形”与“神”在疾病、诊断、治法不同层面的指代对象，讨论了“形神一体观”视域下的针灸治疗策略。.
