Assignment 3: Biopsychosocial-Cultural Model
Traditionally, mental illness was considered a biological
problem, either inherited or developed due to genetic
vulnerability within the individual. This point of view is termed
the medical model. Treatment was provided to the individual in
one-to-one meetings with a psychiatrist or sessions with a
psychotherapist.
The field of mental health has evolved from the traditional
model to one incorporating many more people, factors, causes,
and types of treatment. The biopsychosocial-cultural model
incorporates biological, psychological, developmental, familial,
social, and cultural factors to understand how mental illness
develops and how to design effective treatments.
Revisit the case of the two Wes Moores discussed in
M1: Assignment 2

murder.
