A revitalized biopsychosocial model: core theory, research paradigms, and clinical implications

Derek Bolton

Abstract: The biopsychosocial model (BPSM) was proposed by George Engel in 1977 as an improvement to the biomedical model (BMM), to take account of psychological and social as well as biological factors relevant to health and disease. Since then the BPSM has had a mixed reputation, as the overarching framework for psychiatry, perhaps for medicine generally, while also being criticized for being theoretically and empirically vacuous. Over the past few decades, substantial evidence has accumulated supporting the BPSM but … Show more

“…The most recent literature review highlighted the efficacy range of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Relaxation Training (RT), and Biofeedback (BF) as the most commonly applied non-pharmacological interventions, ranging from 20 to 67% ( 15 , 31 ). According to the biopsychosocial model, pharmacotherapy and behavioral therapy may complement each other, with the most significant reduction in headache frequency achieved by implementing a combination of the two ( 30 ).…”

“…Disease activity is gauged using the DAS28 score, which reflects tender and swollen joint counts, patient health reports, and inflammatory markers like ESR or CRP (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). Effective management needs a holistic approach integrating pharmacological treatments and psychological support, considering the high prevalence of depression and anxiety among RA patients, which significantly impact their quality of life and treatment adherence (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). This study aims to examine how DAS 28 scores and adherence to treatment correlate with depression and anxiety in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).…”
