George L. Engel, MD, an internist at the University of Rochester wrote
about the "biopsychosocial" model in an article published in the
prestigious journal "Science." Engel's work was first published in the
1950s and gained widespread attention in the 1960s.

A biobehavioral model has influenced 'modern' health psychology and
behavioral medicine, but in my opinion, no single person can lay claim
to its 'invention' But I'll be interested to see what the Google
mavens think!

conclusion as you, but I would love to know more about the start of
