Evolutionary theory can advance and revitalise the biopsychosocial model

Abed, Riadh; Hunt, Adam; St John-Smith, Paul (2024). Evolutionary theory can advance and revitalise the biopsychosocial model. British Journal of Psychiatry, 225(4):424-426.

Abstract

The biopsychosocial model remains a key paradigm for healthcare, despite widely recognised scientific and philosophical shortcomings. Here we report on recent updates integrating evolutionary theory with the biopsychosocial model to provide a more comprehensive and scientifically complete approach to understanding the multiple relevant levels of causation of medical and psychiatric problems.
