Child psychiatrisation as a form of oppression against children is not a stretch in my opinion as, I have personally dealt with certain terms being used to insult me as a mental health service user and I have dealt with them since I was a young. Age does not make being a stigmatized member of society easier. Reclaiming these words as a survivor matters to me because it takes power away from the people trying to hurt me. I have struggled from mental distress since I was a child and my mum like many other parents tried to help me through the use of mental health

  • The Biopsychosocial Model

    1198 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Biopsychosocial model (Suls & Rothman, 2004) is one of the earliest multi-dimensional models of the health field. This model demonstrates the interaction between biological and social factors in regard to disease analysis. It displays levels above and below a person arranged from global systems at the top and genetic systems at the bottom. In the Social and Behavioral Foundations of Public Health, Coreil (2010) describes how the biopsychosocial is more concerned with the biological systems within the human body and pays greater attention to this interplay. In the case study, Cockerham (2013) details how social conditions act as the ultimate causes of diabetes and diabetes related fatalities in the community of East Harlem.

    The Biopsychosocial Model The biopsychosocial model of health care allows medical practice to be understood completely in terms of biological, psychological and social factors. The model suggests that every illness can be explained and treated by an interaction between these three factors. The model was proposed by George L. Engel, the Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Rochester, where he challenged the previously prevailing medical model, called the biomedical model, and argued for the introduction of a biopsychosocial model. The biomedical model had viewed illness purely from a pathophysiological perspective, suggesting that every disease could be explained from a biological standpoint.
