Orthodoxy traditionally manages to control the potential threat from the unorthodox by a strategy of either marginalisation or incorporation. Having for so long marginalised the social sciences, biomedicine now seeks to incorporate them in a new biopsychosocial alliance. The social sciences should resist such blandishments and, rather than act in complicity with biomedicine, be free to pursue a more critical role in exposing the theoretical and empirical inconsistencies in the biomedical model.
传统上，正统观念通过边缘化或吸纳的策略来控制非正统观念带来的潜在威胁。长期以来，生物医学一直将社会科学边缘化，如今却试图将其纳入新的生物心理社会联盟。社会科学应抵制这种诱惑，不要与生物医学同流合污，而应自由地发挥更具批判性的作用，揭示生物医学模式在理论和实证方面的不一致之处。
