The Moral Model
Philippe Pinel from France insisted that madness was not due to demonic
possession but an ailment of the mind.
Philosophy:•Treat each patient as an individual•Employ former patients•Use psychological interventions before biological ones.
“the treatment of insanity (l’aliénation mentale) without considering the differentiating characteristics of the patients [la distinction des espèces] has been at times superfluous, rarely useful, and often harmful”
1745-1826

Medical Model
When physicians discovered that syphilis led to mental disorders, they started using medical models
to review the physical causes of these disorders.
1. Etiology: Cause and development of the disorder.
2. Diagnosis: Identifying (symptoms) and distinguishing one disease from another.
3. Treatment: Treating a disorder in a psychiatric hospital.
4. Prognosis: Forecast about the disorder.
The Biopsychosocial Approach
Assumes that biological, socio-cultural, and psychological factors combine and interact
to produce psychological disorders.
