Abstract

It is generally accepted today that the biomedical model's exclusive focus on the patient's somatic condition is too narrow. The biomedical model, however, has additional shortcomings. In the first place, resources are left out of the diagnostic perspective. Secondly, the automatic interpretation of symptoms and deviations from normal as present or potential threats to the individual's health. In this paper it is claimed that these characteristics of the biomedical model can lead to medicalization. To elucidate these claims, an alternative approach to antenatal care, is presented in which the psychosocial conditions of pregnant women are integrated. Some practical problems that follow from this approach are discussed.

将社会心理状况纳入临床实践和医疗化问题。
今天,人们普遍认为,生物医学模型只关注病人的躯体状况,这太狭隘了。然而,生物医学模型还有其他缺点。首先,资源被排除在诊断视角之外。第二,自动地将症状和与正常的偏差解释为对个人健康的当前或潜在威胁。本文认为,生物医学模型的这些特征会导致医学化。为了阐明这些主张,提出了一种产前保健的替代方法,其中孕妇的社会心理状况是综合的。讨论了由此产生的一些实际问题。
