About this title

Review:

"This is one of the better books I have reviewed in the past several academic years. It provides an excellent history and summation of the biopsychosocial model, but then goes further to examine the interrelationship between these concepts and how they are influenced by other variables. The multiplicity of factors that can compromise human behavior and the relationships between these factors should be understood by any practicing clinician. Anyone who has ever struggled to understand the biopsychosocial model and its true impact on human health should read this book."
