 Hypnosis in Psychosomatic Medicine
As with other psychosomatic conditions hypnosis, on a longer-term basis, can be applied to the problems of personality integration and family adjustment.
The field of psychosomatic medicine is especially fascinating because it directly opens theoretical doors to issues concerning the relationship of the body to the mind.
Grinker (1953) and Lipowski (1970) championed the comprehensive, multifactorial approach to psychosomatic disorders, viewing the patient in a holistic biopsychosocial context.

 Stephen Appel: Notes on the Psychosomatic Element of Migraine
Psychosomatic psychopathology in the therapist must be the subject ongoing analysis and self-analysis.
This brings me to countertransference, and the definition I wish to use is that of Joseph Sandler: countertransference is "a compromise between [the therapist's] own tendencies or propensities and the role-relationship which the patient is unconsciously seeking to establish" (1976, 47).

Asthma: Social and Psychological Factors and Psychosomatic Syndromes is a timely and well-documented attempt to summarize current research into the behavioral aspects of asthma.

Gregerson demonstrates that over the years current models ("zeitgeist") have hampered progress in understanding asthma because it actually has many causes and mechanisms, and quotes the opinion that undue emphasis on psychological factors discredited the psychosomatic field.

Psychosomatic Energetic - by Dr.med.Reimar Banis M.D./N.D. Psychosomatic disturbances are very frequent causes of therapeutic blockade´s in the general practice.
With a new developed test system psychosomatic conflicts can be uncovered in a short time and more precisely than with any other method we know.

 Jung Talk - Info. on Jung/psychosomatic illness
It is as if the body itself is a dream which when we understand and work with it, becomes balanced and integrated again." Similarly, Marion Woodman in many of her articles shows that a psychosomatic symptom is really a symbol: "I put dreams and and body symptoms on a par.
I am surprised that Jung didn't write more about psychosomatic symptoms as, from the quotes you give from Jung on that topic, he must have thought a good deal about the matter.
We also know that a number of psychosomatic phenomena which are otherwise outside the control of the will can be induced by hypnosis, that is, by this same restriction of consciousness." CW 8 "On the nature of the Psyche" p 439-440

 American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc. - Clinical Manual of Psychosomatic Medicine
The authors of Clinical Manual of Psychosomatic Medicine begin by summarizing how to do effective psychiatric consultation in a changing health care environment, citing key trends such as managed health care, reallocation of health care resources, medical care, and psychiatric consultation's shift from inpatient to outpatient settings, and to multidisciplinary teams.
To accommodate the shift from inpatient to outpatient settings and to the evolving importance of psychiatric care delivered within specialty and primary care settings, this invaluable reference shows how consultation psychiatrists are the ideal clinicians to provide rapid, focused, and practical diagnostic assessments and treatment recommendations.
Now that consultation liaison psychiatry has been recognized as the new clinical subspecialty of Psychosomatic Medicine, the busy clinician needs a concise and pithy guide to stay abreast of current thinking and the most up-to-date evidence-based practices.
