Abstract

The body-mind issue has been with us for centuries and has been discussed by both religious and philosophers. Throw an email survey sent to Argentine Psychiatrists Association ´s psychologist and psychiatrists, the present article tries to understand what happens in Mental Health professionals regarding this issue nowadays. In spite of the small  sample  (66 surveys completed) the data obtained shows interesting results in regards to the association observed between the core concepts studied and the characteristics of the  surveyed professionals. This data as well as the statistical analysis obtained are relevant due to the impact of the “where the mind is” concept to the different available approaches that could be addressed when dealing with mental disorders, both from a diagnostic or therapeutic perspective.
