AB  - In  an  important  series  of  research  and  conceptual  papers  in  the  1970s  and  1980s,  George  L.  Engel  expanded  the  centuries  old  (and  very  successful)  biomedical  model  by  demonstrating  the  importance  of  psychological  and  social  factors  in  disease  and  illness  and  how  these  factors  affect  care  processes  and  outcomes.  While  patients  continue  to  be  understood  partly  in  biological  terms,  the  biopsychosocial  (BPS)  model  underscores  the  importance  of  the  medical  interview  in  diagnosis,  treatment,  and  therapy  by  integrating  the  psychosocial  dimensions  of  the  patient  and  their  experience  of  illness.1–3  Based  on  General  System  Theory,3–5  Engel  argued  that  the  BPS  model  could  simultaneously  make  medicine  more  scientific  and  more  humanistic  by  incorporating  elements  of  self-  and  situation/contextual  awareness  to  the  interview  process.
