You may never have even heard of the biopsychosocial model, but its contents does affect you whether you have heard of it or not. Samara Lipsky is a medical researcher that found deep curiosity for understanding the age old question of which influences an individual more: Nature or Nurture? This question is neither new nor has it been solved. But the question itself led her to discover a model called the biopsychosocial model. The biopsychosocial model is the idea that illnesses and diseases, as well as human behavior, can be adjusted, interpreted and dictated by nature and nurture. In addition to the research she has done on this topic and others, Samara Lipsky also used this topic as the theme of a chapter in a book that she co-wrote around the biopsychosocial model. The idea is to use the model for disease prevention and health promotion. Medical research is only as good as it can be applied to tangibly help people. If there is data collected and then researched but the result does not improve any medical elements or the treatment of people, that data is a waste of scientific funding. Seeing how science affected the public at large was a huge influencer for Samara Lipsky, and she continues to investigate this topic with passion. The goal of this research is to help affect the public for the better by better understanding these topics. Comments are closed.
