Captions available

The biopsychosocial model explains behavior as the joint product of biological, psychological, and social factors.
In practice
Chronic insomnia is traced at once to an overactive stress response, catastrophic beliefs about sleep, and a night-shift schedule.
Where people slip
Naming three factors is not the model. The model requires showing how the three interact in the case at hand.
