Abstract: The medical model of mental illness is often characterized as assuming that mental illness is a disorder of the brain. In contrast\, the biopsychosocial model allows for the possibility that mental illness is caused by a combination of biological\, psychological and environmental causes. Which model is superior for understanding\, explaining and treating mental illness?
