The Peschel and Peschel model for mental disorder treatment overlooks psychological impacts on physical health. A balanced health promotion training model offers better patient care by integrating physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Area of Science:
- Psychiatry and Mental Health
- Medical Sociology
- Health Promotion
Background:

- Highlights the model's deficiency in acknowledging the significant influence of cognition, volition, and affect on physical health outcomes.
Discussion:
- Compares the limitations of medical patriarchy and psychological matriarchy models in mental healthcare.
- Proposes that neither extreme offers an optimal therapeutic framework for comprehensive patient well-being.
Key Insights:
- The current models inadequately address the mind-body connection in mental health treatment.

Outlook:
- Advocates for a health promotion training model that balances physical, mental, and spiritual health aspects.
- Suggests this integrated approach will foster professionals with a broader patient perspective and improve treatment success rates.
