Ibn Sina (Avicenna) is primarily known for his philosophy and medicine, but there is almost no scientific discipline in which this great man didn't leave a significant mark. This paper gives a brief overview of his contribution to medicine and psychology through which his unique scientific and religious approach to the study of the phenomena of human being can be best seen. Medical works of Ibn Sina represent a pinnacle of most important medical achievements of his time. These works contain synthesis of all Greek, Indian and Iranian medical schools, but also new breakthroughs achieved by Muslim scholars through their own experimentation and practice. Although he wrote many medical works, his most important one is El-Kanun fit-tib, which can be translated as The Canon of Medicine. It's made out of five books which systematically show everything known in the area of medicine up until that point in time. In it, Ibn Sina discusses, among other things, the structure of psychological apparatus of human being and the connection of psychological functions with the brain. He considered psychology to be very important for medicine, so in his psychological works he discusses, in great detail, the essence of human soul, consciousness, intellect and other psychological functions. He observed a man in his entirety, taking into consideration all aspects of his existence, paying special attention to spiritual knowledge and spiritual perfection, religiosity, and methods of achieving inner peace and well-being.
伊本·西那（阿维森纳）主要以哲学和医学闻名，但几乎没有任何科学学科他没有留下重要的印记。本文通过他对人类现象的独特的科学和宗教研究方法，简要概述了他对医学和心理学的贡献。伊本·西那的医学著作代表了他那个时代最重要的医学成就的顶峰。这些著作综合了所有希腊、印度和伊朗的医学学派，但也包含了穆斯林学者通过自己的实验和实践取得的新突破。尽管他写了许多医学著作，但他最重要的一部是《医典》（El-Kanun fit-tib），可以翻译为《医学全书》。它由五本书组成，系统地展示了当时医学领域的所有知识。在书中，伊本·西那讨论了人类心理器官的结构以及心理功能与大脑的联系。他认为心理学对医学非常重要，因此在他的心理学著作中，他详细讨论了人类灵魂、意识、智力和其他心理功能的本质。他全面地观察一个人，考虑到他存在的各个方面，特别关注精神知识和精神完善、宗教信仰以及获得内心平静和幸福的方法。
