Strengthening the “Bio” in the Biopsychosocial Paradigm

Abstract

Although for some time social work has paid lip service to the notion of “biopsychosocial” as a core concept for practice-relevant behavioral science, the literature suggests that the “bio” component is often neglected in social work curricula. This articles provides evidence of the need for biological content, considers obstacles to infusing biological material into existing curricula, and suggests alternative models for integrating biological knowledge into master's level social work programs.
