Biopsychosocial assessment
entails considering social, psychological, and biological factors in clinical
assessments to determine the root cause of the client's problem. However, the
model has various advantages, such as a holistic view of health factors, faster
recovery, and cost-effectiveness, and disadvantages, such as linking every
disorder with psychological health issues and failure to integrate the client's
religious and cultural values into the model.
