This thesis attempts to use psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) as a lens for examining different immune and autoimmune disorders, as well as psychological function and dysfunction. Through this examination, it is hypothesized that PNI could point to an accurate theoretical framework for describing the mind-body relation, or at the very least gain a deeper respect for showing the complexity of consciousness and health. Conversely, an appropriate view of the mind-body relation should provide a sound theoretical framework for PNI research.
