En 1977 Engel postuló la necesidad de un modelo médico holístico que él llamó biopsicosocial como respuesta a otro modelo, el biomédico [...] Su propuesta tuvo una buena acogida por parte de los sectores deseosos de incorporar la empatía y la compasión en la práctica médica. Examinaremos de manera crítica las dos vertientes que nos propone el modelo biopsicosocial: a) un modelo de causación superador del modelo clásico de causa-efecto, y en este sentido se postula como "un nuevo paradigma en la medicina", y b) la apuesta por dar la palabra al paciente en el proceso asistencial, pasando de ser mero objeto a ser sujeto del acto clínico. 1, record 4, Spanish, - modelo%20biopsicosocial
