Modern medical practices handle human as a mechanical being. However, human beings are in constant interaction with their environment due to many reasons such as belief, perspective on life, eating and drinking, and habits. The health professionals' attitude is quite important when the disease phenomenon is encountered in this interaction process. The biopsychosocial model is based on the physicians' competencies such as defining the problem, classifying and recommending treatment methods, as well as understanding the patient, value them and to share in their decisions. In the study, while defining the shortcomings of the biomedical approach, the importance of the biopsychosocial approach i examined for more effective diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the biopsychosocial model conceptualized by George Engel is explored, and its history, necessity, transition from biomedical model to biopsychosocial model and criticisms of the biopsychosocial model are discussed. The significance of biopsychosocial model in the health system is emphasized.
