This, resulted in to postulate the advantageous workable view of what is known today as "psycho-somatic approach to the medicine": In this respect, Georgeani states that "the medical man, first, must know the substantial temperament of his patient and its mode of progression throughout the life he should ascertain the types of the predominan mood, habits and temper, and recognize whether he is happy, joyful, sad etc". Having adopted this point of view, it ensues then, that they were looking at mentally ill person not as somebody who is posessed by evil spirits (as it was the case in the middle ages in Europe) but they believed that mental illnesses are a product of the malfunctioning brain, and consequently in need of medical treatment.

Psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, panic, depression, schizophernia and obsessive-compulsive disorders are discussed in the light of disturbance of particular behavioural system or interaction between these systems as well as the contribution of each system in producing symptoms and signs.
