Document Summary

Biomedical model: focuses on the treatment side and preventing bad. The illness-wellness continuum: also focuses on the prevention and keeping something good/healthy and promotion of good/wellness and doing things to prevent symptoms. Optimistic bias: unable to realize that something is reality and accepting it. Feeling stressed so deserve something (dealing with the negative feelings passive) whereas active coping strategies (vent stressful feelings in a positive way such as going to the gym) Clinical implications of the biopsychosocial model: need to consider all three areas and well as the relationship between the patient and the practitioner is significant and being more personal and establish a good relationship. Biomedical: cause of disease are always outside; the doctors are the ones combatting the disease. Biopsychosocial: the society and community are also responsible for creating a healthy lifestyle. Longer lives psychological changes; people now pass away from chronic illness.
