Question

Can some1 explain how the biopsychosocial modle differs from the biomedical model?

Answer 1

Gav C -

Biomedical model:

Illnesses and disorders are from within the person - biologically based.

Biopsychosocial model:

Considers influences from biological sources, psychological sources, and social sources.

There is more to it, but this is the most basic difference of the two.
