The biopsychosocial model finds its roots in psychosomatic medicine. The term was first brought to life by Roy Grinker‚ a neurologist and psychiatrist‚ in 1954. Grinker applied this concept into his world of psychiatry. It was about 1977 when George Engel took this “biopsychosocial” term and began to apply it directly to his focus within medicine (Ghaemi‚ 2009). Engel formulated his own model that offered a holistic alternative to the existing biomedical model. He felt the current model was

For the first journal entry I would like to discuss the biopsychosocial model’s definition of health. I wholeheartedly support this model which includes biological‚ psychological‚ and social influences to be a part of the definition of health. I agree with this definition because it covers a wide range of variables that contribute to one’s health.

The biopsychosocial model represents a newer‚ broader and more holistic approach than the prevailing biomedical model which is based purely on the concept of the
