Abstract
Many people criticise, and psychiatrists apologise, for the use of the 'medical model'. We examine what is currently meant by this term and suggest a refinement of definition to reflect the ideals and contemporary practice of medicine. We propose that psychiatrists should use the medical model to improve and validate bio-psychosocial psychiatric medicine.Entities:
