Discussion
Consider the medical social worker's practice from the "person-in-environment" perspective. Review both the disease and biopsychosocial models of disease and health. Examine the posts your colleagues share about the future perspectives of the profession.
Post a brief description of the "person-in-environment" perspective. Compare and contrast the medical model and the biopsychosocial model. Be sure to describe the advantages and disadvantages of both models in the delivery of medical social work services. Explain how the person-in-environment perspective relies heavily on the principles of the biopsychosocial model. Explain whether the biopsychosocial model might continue to be compatible with the future of the social work profession. Provide a rationale. Finally, explain whether the person-in-environment perspective might rely heavily on the principles of the biopsychosocial model in the future.
