Summary

The continuum of life begins in utero. It is not possible to separate any stages of human development from the rest of an individual life’s continuum. The life continuum is one of the basic needs in human life in order to maintain homeostasis and equilibrium.

Since the vulnerability of an organism is greatest in a developing phase, already the prenatal phase of human life gives opportunities to influence later stages of human life in a positive way. Fundamental processes of life, such as reproduction, metabolism, information processing and immune responsiveness, are controlled by the neuro-endocrine-immune system. Integrated Psychoimmuno-Neuroendocrinology represents a unique opportunity for primary prevention of psychological, emotional and physical disorders.

Keywords: integrated neurosciences; continuity; indivisibility; psychosomatic model
