Aims & Scopes

The International Journal of Body, Mind, and Culture (IJBMC) is dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary health studies, with a primary focus on Psychosomatic Medicine, Health and Medical Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Cultural and Social Psychology, Sport  Psychology, Epigenetics and Lifestyle Medicine, Philosophy of/in Medicine, and Health and Medical Humanities. Our mission is to foster a paradigm shift in modern medicine by addressing its ontological, epistemological, and methodological challenges and promoting humanistic approaches to health care and clinical practice.

The journal seeks to engage and inform health professionals, researchers, and system managers, encouraging integrative and holistic decision-making in health promotion and care settings. We aim to bridge the gaps in biomedicine by exploring interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspectives that humanize medical practice and education.

IJBMC publishes peer-reviewed, conceptual, and empirical research that contributes to the paradigmatic evolution of medicine. We welcome studies in medical and health psychology, medical humanities (including sociology, anthropology, philosophy, literature, religion, and history), and aesthetic approaches to health and medicine (e.g., art, music, and cinema). By emphasising the interplay between body, mind, and culture, the journal strives to inspire innovative solutions to contemporary health challenges and enrich the discourse on integrative and human-centered medical practices.
