Society for Psychosomatic Medicine

The Society for Psychosomatic Medicine (Czech: Společnost psychosomatické medicíny ČLS JEP, often abbreviated SPM ČLS JEP) is a Czech professional medical society dedicated to the field of psychosomatic medicine. It operates as a member society of the Czech Medical Association of J. E. Purkyně (ČLS JEP), the umbrella organization for medical specialty societies in the Czech Republic. The society brings together physicians, psychotherapists, psychologists, and other health professionals interested in the biopsychosocial approach to health and illness. The society's main public activities include organizing an annual psychosomatic conference, publishing news and board meeting minutes on its website, and facilitating communication among professionals in the field. According to its official website, the 21st Psychosomatic Conference took place in Liberec on 5–7 June 2026, continuing a long-standing tradition of annual gatherings. The society also maintains a photo gallery from conferences and shares information about related events such as the Czech Psychotherapy Day. Governance is carried out by an elected board (výbor), along with a review commission and an ethics commission. The website indicates that elections to these bodies were announced in 2026, with regular board meetings documented in published minutes. Named board members appearing in the minutes include Barbora Branna, Adéla Holmanová, and Danuše Jandourková, among others. The society does not appear to be a commercial brand in the traditional sense; it is a non-profit professional association. Its "products" are membership services, conferences, and educational activities. It has no known parent company or commercial owner. Its online presence is maintained at psychosomatika-cls.cz, where it posts news, event announcements, and organizational documents.
