Biopsychosocial model

The biopsychosocial model is an inter-disciplinary model that looks at the interconnection between biology, psychology, and socio-environmental factors. The model specifically examines how these aspects play a role in topics ranging from health and disease, to human development. The model was first advocated by George L. Engel in 1977, and has become an alternative to the biomedical dominance of many health care systems.
