Thanks @MarkLRuffalo & @PsychToday for highlighting Engel's biopsychosocial model! https://t.co/XMweLJrus0 My only reflection is that since #FND is mechanistically & etiologically heterogeneous - prefer the "functional neurological disorder" term. https://t.co/p3vMkJ3Ahj https://t.co/J7h8rhPp0f

What people are saying
The discussions reflect widespread consensus on the relevance of Engel’s biopsychosocial model, with many citing its historical roots and ongoing debates, using tone and references that underscore its enduring influence and relevance for modern medicine.
Most discussions acknowledge the importance of the biopsychosocial model as an alternative or complement to the traditional biomedical approach, showing general agreement with the article's premise.
The topic generates high interest, evidenced by references to historical context, critiques, and calls for paradigm shifts, indicating curiosity and relevance.
Participants reference Engel's original work, recent critiques, and debates about terminology, reflecting a moderate depth of engagement with the subject matter.
While the discussions highlight the lasting significance of the model since its proposal in 1977, they suggest modest immediate impact, mostly through awareness and scholarly reflection.
Abstract in brief
- The current biomedical model of disease primarily focuses on biological factors and overlooks social, psychological, and behavioral aspects of illness.
- A new biopsychosocial model is suggested to better encompass these additional dimensions, offering a more comprehensive approach to understanding health and illness.
- This integrated model aims to guide research, improve education, and inform practical health care actions by considering the complex interactions between biological, psychological, and social factors.]

The biosychosocial model was proposed as early as 1977, but the biomedical model refuses to die. George Engel's original article is still well worth a read today https://t.co/qLgrbb0Zqx

@ismailarafa9 هل اطلعت على biopsychosocial model يا دكتور هذة نظرية فى نشأه المرض كتب فيها ورقة بحثية فى السبعينات وأثرت بشكل كبير، اظن العلاج النفسي المعرفى لا يتبع هذه الفلسفة فى أن المرض النفسي بيولوجى حصرا بل يعتبر أن بالأفكار والقناعات هي الأصل الذى يجب علاجه https://t.co/wlmStkAOaQ

D'aquí també la necessitat de proposar un nou model mèdic, com el biopsicosocial proposat per Engel. Així com substituir el concepte "malaltia mental" per "trastorn mental". 7/7 https://t.co/p7b4EsosMb
@sulmoney Even take in the title ‘The need for a new medical model: A challenge for biomedicine’. He was not happy with your version of the medical model.

@JRBneuropsiq Well, hard to fault them for that. I mean, Engel's little piece was published in a very minor journal and has only been cited about 18,614 times. https://t.co/02fwgkggwz

@Proletcultist I think George Engel coined the term, and he was trying to keep things firmly within medicine. It's never been a radical phrase. https://t.co/VSre1RrC6x

Ce n'est pas une définition officielle, aucune définition officielle du modèle BPS existe d'ailleurs. Le papier original de Engel qui a créé le modèle était d'ailleurs très vague sur le sujet : https://t.co/zKaKG2IE7B
