Abstract
GENERAL COMMENTARY article Front. Psychol., 19 February 2014 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00126
Highlights
In his article “Different conceptions of mental illness: consequences for the association with patients” Helmchen rightly cautions against any kind of dogmatism in psychiatry, regardless of whether it is a social, a psychological or a biological one
He favors the biopsychosocial model as a remedy for “the narrowing of conceptions that depict only partial aspects of mental illness” (Helmchen, 2013, p. 3)
I assume that the biopsychosocial model either has to be based on biological facts or else it will remain arbitrary
