biopsychosocial
Mind-body-society framework
Biopsychosocial describes an approach that considers biological, psychological, and social factors together rather than in isolation.
The model emerged in medicine and psychiatry as an alternative to purely biological explanations of illness: The clinic takes a biopsychosocial approach to chronic pain.
It acknowledges that a patient's genetics, mental state, relationships, and environment all interact to affect health outcomes.
