Area of Science:

  • Medical Sociology
  • Philosophy of Medicine
  • Psychosomatic Medicine

Context:

  • The doctor-patient relationship faces challenges with functional disorders, often due to a limited biomedical model.
  • Current biomedical approaches inadequately incorporate psychosocial factors and the body as a meaningful subject.
  • This gap hinders effective communication and patient care for somatic symptom disorders.

Purpose:

  • To propose an integrated model for understanding functional disorders.
  • To incorporate psychosocial factors and phenomenological aspects of the body into medical understanding.
  • To enhance physician-patient communication by validating subjective patient experiences.

Summary:

  • A bio-psychosocial and phenomenological model offers a more comprehensive framework for functional disorders.
