Notes

  1. In a seminal work in 1977, George Engel proposed the “biopsychosocial model,” which sought to account for the affective and other psychosocial states in which patients are always embedded [4]. Daniel Sulmasy expands Engel’s model into a “biopsychosocial-spiritual model,” resting his case more robustly on a philosophical anthropology that sees persons as intrinsically spiritual—as beings in relationship, including with the transcendent [5].
