    Victor Skumin's achievements are measured by the lasting impact of his work rather than formal awards. He identified a medical syndrome that bears his name, introduced a psychotherapeutic method that has helped cardiac patients, and coined a term that has become a global movement. His founding of the World Organisation of Culture of Health and his editorship of a journal dedicated to health culture demonstrate his leadership in promoting a holistic vision of well-being. His recognition as one of the most popular psychologists globally underscores the widespread influence of his ideas.
