Review: "Focusing on chronic disabling ill health, this book takes the examples of arthritis, cancer, diabetes, lower back pain, irritable bowel syndrome, and depression to show how the biopsychosocial model can be used in practice. It questions why it is not more routinely used, even when the biopsychosocial approach has been proved to be more effective than traditional methods in overcoming these disabilities, and shows how barriers to its implementation can be overcome." "Controversial and challenging, Biopsychosocial Medicine will be essential reading for all those who feel the biomedical model is failing them and their patients. It will enable readers to understand the biopsychosocial approach and how it can be implemented, in order to enhance their confidence and success as health professionals."--BOOK JACKET.
