The basic assumptions are changed. The question is no longer what is wrong with the person, but what are the strengths of this person and how can they be used. From this perspective, we would approach the schizophrenic person, for example, in a very different manner than we did in the other models. Such a biopsychosocial is really a call for interdisciplinary cooperation in the study of psychopathology, a cooperation that has not historically been a reality. Nevertheless, as we have seen, there are some criticisms that can be leveled at both the medical and biopsychosocial models.
Some scientists thus advocate a difference model for understanding psychopathology.
Again, I urge you not to be lulled into the belief that everything is clear-cut and simple.
