Abstract

Since 1997, the Bio-Psycho-Social Model, proposed by George Engel, attracted the interest of clinical researchers as well epistemologists and was recognized as a turning point in the culture and praxis of medical diagnosis and treatments. According to Engel, biological, psychological as well as social events are mutually interconnected and reciprocally influenced; a paradigmatic shift in the approach to the mind-body problem. Lately, this model has received persuasive criticism that has caused a fading of its scientific reliability. This concise review focuses the core feature of Engel’s position as well as the scientific controversy that followed during these forty years.
