Science · 1977 · Vol. 196(4286) · pp. 129–136
George L. Engel✉(University of Rochester)
Abstract
The dominant model of disease today is biomedical, and it leaves no room within tis framework for the social, psychological, and behavioral dimensions of illness. A biopsychosocial model is proposed that provides a blueprint for research, a framework for teaching, and a design for action in the real world of health care.
