Just noticed the following on Wiki's "biopsychosocial" entry. It's the final sentence under the Criticism section:
"The Tufts psychiatry professor and author S. Nassir Ghaemi considers Engel's [biopsychosocial] model to be anti-humanistic and advocates the use of less eclectic, less generic, and less vague alternatives, such as William Osler’s medical humanism or Karl Jaspers’ method-based psychiatry."
I believe Osler's Web is named for William Osler (though I just received a copy of the book and haven't yet begun to read it.) - Just wondered what significance there might be for this tradition at Tufts, where Justina was of course first treated vs. what seems to be the philosophical stance at Harvard.
