Brown, B.T., Bonello, R. and Pollard, H. (2005) The biopsychosocial model and hypothyroidism. Chiropractic & Osteopathy, 13 (1).

Abstract

This paper comments on the role and emergence of the biopsychosocial model in modern medical literature and health care settings. The evolution of the biopsychosocial model and its close association with modern pain theory is also examined. This paper seeks to discuss the place of this model with respect to the management of hypothyroidism. This discussion represents a forerunner to a randomised control trial that will seek to investigate the effect of a biopsychosocial-based treatment regime on hypothyroidism.
