Abstract

Many aspects of Engel's biopsychosocial model support humanistic approaches to medicine. Engel was explicitly negative, however, about approaches that would contrast medical humanism with medical science. Engel adopted a systems science approach to the study of human beings, health and disease, and accordingly endorsed the use of a scientific approach for improving quality of clinical care, in the sense of it being amenable to scientific study.
