Answer 1

Answer: a. the biopsychosocial approach

Step-by-step explanation:

Drs. George Engel and John Romano developed the biopsychosocial aproach at Rochester. This perspective systematically analyzes both biological, psychological, and social elements, as well as their multiple interactions, to help taking care of health issues.

Opposite to the traditional biomedical system that concentrates on pathophysiology, the biopsychosocial approach examines the full context of health and illness.
