Abstract
This article emphasizes the importance of assessing mental health status in clinical research on Qigong effects, including both positive and rare but potential negative aspects. To elaborate upon this point, this article first described the underlying philosophy and spiritual view of Qigong, Daoism, which links body with mind dialectically. Then, the insufficient clinical investigation on mental health in research on the therapeutic role of Qigong was summarized with some major studies. Next, the under-documented, potential side effect induced by malpractice will be also introduced. Finally, suggestions are provided for improving clinical assessment of Qigong and other forms of energy healing.
