ABSTRACT
Science and educational institutions have important roles in finding more and more valid concepts to explain biological, psychological, and social aspects of nature. The classical method of psychoanalysis usually is not fully effective at achieving its stated aim of altering psychological depth. Sigmund Freud was essentially a research scientist and theorist. The psychoanalytic method of free association is an excellent way to learn about the mind. The high level of competence to remember, process, and reflect upon semantic concepts makes the human brain-mind unique. Changing mind-brain by learning and activating valid concepts about nature and the self can substitute for complete organismic death. The strain on health care resources throughout the world is based to a large extent on ignorance about the relationships between mental and physical illness. Somatoform illnesses such as fibromyalgia, hypochondria, conversion disorders, and chronic pain syndromes are widespread.
