One hundred and twenty-five years of the dialogue between psychology and physiology reveal a vibrant discussion about the mind-body effect--the ability of waking consciousness to influence its own normally unconscious physiology through conscious intention, and conversely, the reciprocal effect of physiology on consciousness. In the early phase, the data remained largely anecdotal. Scientific study of the emotions then opened the door to dynamic theories of the subconscious. Such formulations, however, were repeatedly overshadowed by concurrent advances in brain neurophysiology, which rejected not only any exploration of the unconscious that relied on the method of symbolism, but also the reality of the unconscious itself. Nevertheless, scientific advances at the interface between psychology and physiology persisted. Since the 1950s, however, there has been an explosion of new work in the neurosciences at the interface between molecular genetics, endocrinology, neurology, immunology, and psychiatry. This has fueled both new research and renewed discussion about the mind-body effect, a dialogue that is now, in part, also a response to a counter-culture revolution occurring at the interface between the delivery of clinical services throughout the healthcare professions and an increasingly sophisticated consumer demand for alternative and complementary therapies.
心理学与生理学之间长达125年的对话揭示了一场关于身心效应的热烈讨论——清醒意识通过有意识的意图影响其自身通常无意识的生理机能的能力，以及相反地，生理机能对意识的相互影响。在早期阶段，数据大多只是轶事性的。对情绪的科学研究随后为潜意识的动态理论打开了大门。然而，这些理论表述一再被大脑神经生理学的同时进展所掩盖，大脑神经生理学不仅拒绝任何依赖象征主义方法对无意识的探索，也拒绝无意识本身的真实性。尽管如此，心理学与生理学交叉领域的科学进展仍在持续。然而，自20世纪50年代以来，在分子遗传学、内分泌学、神经病学、免疫学和精神病学交叉的神经科学领域出现了大量新的研究成果。这推动了关于身心效应的新研究和重新讨论，这场对话现在部分也是对整个医疗行业临床服务提供与消费者对替代和补充疗法日益复杂的需求之间交叉领域发生的反文化革命的回应。
