Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this review is to provide an analysis of the epistemic status of the biopsychosocial model. METHOD: A critical comparison of the biopsychosocial model with the general concept of models. RESULTS: In its present form, the biopsychosocial model is so seriously flawed that its continued use in psychiatry is not justified. CONCLUSION: Further development of theory-based models in psychiatry is urgently needed.
