In other words, in the distant future a diagnosis of 'psychological' will no longer be interpreted as a condescending dismissal but rather an empowering appreciation for a course of action.

I agree this is true to some extent. But I'll bet, based on historical precedent, that an even greater percent of the diseases now labelled psychosomatic by a large number of physicians will be found to have a physiological mechanism that when interrupted is largely curative - like heart disease which is well known to have a stress component but is not considered a psychosomatic disease.
