Medical practice and research today are largely guided by a biomedical model of disease which assumes that disease can be fully accounted for by deviations from the norm of measurable biologic variables. It is suggested that this model has outlived its usefulness. Instead, the biopsychosocial model offers greater understanding of the illness process, and thus has greater utility for the practicing physician. Suggestions are offered for diagnosis and treatment within this biopsychosocial perspective.
如今的医学实践和研究很大程度上受生物医学疾病模型的指导，该模型假定疾病可以完全由可测量生物变量偏离正常标准来解释。有人认为这种模型已不再有用。相反，生物心理社会模型能更深入地理解疾病过程，因此对执业医师更有用。本文从生物心理社会角度对诊断和治疗提出了建议。
