There is a great need for further development of healthcare in the field of psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy in China. The prevalence rate for mental disorders in China ranges between 7.0% and 17.5%. It is imperative to improve the training of nonpsychiatrists, nurses, psychiatrists, and psychologists. The new mental health law promotes the role of psychiatry in the assessment of mental disorders and subsequently engages psychiatrists and clinical psychologists in their treatment. Mental health institutions are requested to regularly improve mental health services and research. The following four steps are necessary to develop psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy in the future in China: (1) integration of training in psychosomatic medicine in the undergraduate student teaching; (2) basic and advanced training in psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy for physicians, psychologists, and nurses; (3) assistance in setting up psychosomatic wards at the general hospital; and (4) supporting basic and clinical research in the field of psychosomatic medicine.
