Causation and causal selection in the biopsychosocial model of health and disease

In The Biopsychosocial Model of Health and Disease, Derek Bolton and Grant Gillett argue that a defensible updated version of the biopsychosocial model requires a metaphysically adequate account of disease causation that can accommodate biological, psychological, and social factors.

520 |a In The Biopsychosocial Model of Health and Disease, Derek Bolton and Grant Gillett argue that a defensible updated version of the biopsychosocial model requires a metaphysically adequate account of disease causation that can accommodate biological, psychological, and social factors. This present paper offers a philosophical critique of their account of biopsychosocial causation. I argue that their account relies on claims about the normativity and the semantic content of biological information that are metaphysically contentious. Moreover, I suggest that these claims are unnecessary for a defence of biopsychosocial causation, as the roles of multiple and diverse factors in disease causation can be readily accommodated by a more widely accepted and less metaphysically contentious account of causation. I then raise the more general concern that they are misdiagnosing the problem with the traditional version of the biopsychosocial model. The challenge when developing an explanatorily valuable version of the biopsychosocial model, I argue, is not so much providing an adequate account of biopsychosocial causation, but providing an adequate account of causal selection. Finally, I consider how this problem may be solved to arrive at a more explanatorily valuable and clinically useful version of the biopsychosocial model. 
520 |a U "The Biopsychosocial Model of Health and Disease", Derek Bolton i Grant Gillett tvrde da obranljiva ažurirana verzija biopsihosocijalnog modela zahtijeva metafizički adekvatnu teoriju uzroka bolesti koja može zahvatiti biološke, psihološke i socijalne čimbenike. Ovaj rad nudi filozofsku kritiku njihove teorije biopsihosocijalne uzročnosti. Tvrdim da se njihova teorija oslanja na tvrdnje o normativnosti i semantičkom sadržaju bioloških informacija koje su metafizički sporne. Štoviše, sugeriram da su ove tvrdnje nepotrebne za obranu biopsihosocijalne uzročnosti, budući da se uloge višestrukih i raznolikih čimbenika u uzrokovanju bolesti mogu lako prilagoditi naširoko prihvaćenom i manje metafizički spornom teorijom uzročnosti. Zatim iznosim općenitiji prigovor da Bolton i Gillett pogrešno dijagnosticiraju problem s tradicionalnom verzijom biopsihosocijalnog modela. Tvrdim da izazov pri razvijanju eksplanatorno vrijedne verzije biopsihosocijalnog modela nije toliko pružanje adekvatne teorije biopsihosocijalne uzročnosti, već pružanje odgovarajuće teorije uzročne selekcije. Konačno, razmatram kako se ovaj problem može riješiti kako bismo došli do eksplanatorno vrijednije i klinički korisnije verzije biopsihosocijalnog modela.
