Both allopathic medicine and holistic one support a deep integration between physical and mental sphere (psyche-soma).

Several chronic pathologies are due to environment stressors and psychological, constitutional and hereditary stressors.

Ecopsychology rapidly imposes itself. Arne Naess linked psychology and ecology and studied several influences between nature and psychological balance.

Ecopsychology can be considered a new field of action and research that takes to medical ecology.

In climatotherapy this consideration means physical environment perceived as «hostile surroundings» can be etiologically an important factor for evaluations of health and wellness tourism. So the conception of climate preference for healthy and sick people is very important for climatotherapy prescription. Different systems of climatotherapy indications and contraindications have to be corrected.
