Talk:Medical model

message: I agree that this article is very anti-psychiatry and does not relate well to the rest of medicine. But the phrase and the idea is well out there and is frequently referred to by both antipsychaitrists (I probably have to say here that I am a psychiatrist), and other patient rights and allied professions, notably psychologists. 
There more I read about it and think about it, the more able I am to see some merit in the idea. The key thing for doctors to realise, is that the 'Medical Model' is not a 'Medical' Model in the same way as the Biopsychosocial model or a social model of disease causation. I think it could probably be considered a social model, and I also consider it actually has two aspects, one relating to the training and methods of training of doctors (which is well addressed in the Physician article, and secondly the underlying philosophy and how that affects patients and others (two aspects there too?), which could be called more a Disease model or Biomedical model.
This is all personal research / thought so unless I can find published work that supports this, it will remain here. Egmason (talk) 22:04, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Environmental model? 

message: Okay, I took a stab at the first half or so of the page. I made it clearer, more neutral, less contentious and (I think) more accurate. I moved some of the mental-health stuff to the psychology section. I added wording to the effect that a model is supposed to be a tool, to be judged by its utility. More links to other pages, and a reference. (Just one, sorry. All I had time for today.) I changed section on "disease" to "disease and injury" because I think most people don't think of a broken arm as a disease, but such injuries fit very nicely into the medical model.RobertPlamondon (talk) 19:01, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Clarity and Neutrality

message: Hi all, I am working on Medical model of disability and the article has a wiki-link back to this article. It seems like this article titled "Medical model" is really the "Medical model of disability". I propose "Medical model" be merged into "Medical model of disability". Am I wrong are they two different models? If not, thoughts on merging? Jackiekoerner (talk) 20:37, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: These are pretty distinct, but very similar. The medical model deals with "how physicians come up with a diagnosis" whereas the ...of disability deals with "how physicians think about disability". menaechmi (talk) 16:55, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
