George Engel
The Need for a New Medical Model: A
Challenge for Biomedicine
(Engel, 1977)
![Page 17: Trr re organization of disability benefits system](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050922/5584730fd8b42aca538b4c06/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Biopsychosocial Model
The Medical Model “assumes disease to be fully accounted
for by deviations from the norm of measurable biological (somatic) variance. It leaves no
room…for the social, psychological and behavioural dimensions of life”.
(Engel, 1977. p. 130)
![Page 18: Trr re organization of disability benefits system](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050922/5584730fd8b42aca538b4c06/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
New Definition -- Disease
“pathology of a part that is identified by objective criteria”
(Barbour, 1995, p. 10)
![Page 19: Trr re organization of disability benefits system](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050922/5584730fd8b42aca538b4c06/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
New Definition -- Impairment
• “a loss of, or loss of the use of….any body part, system or function”
• relates to a specific function
(Zabrodski, 1999, pp. 49 & 52)
![Page 20: Trr re organization of disability benefits system](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050922/5584730fd8b42aca538b4c06/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
New Definition -- Disability
“a complex phenomenon, reflecting the interaction beween features of a person’s body and features of the society in which he or she lives”
(http://www.who.int/topics/disabilities/en/)
![Page 21: Trr re organization of disability benefits system](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050922/5584730fd8b42aca538b4c06/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
New Definition -- Handicap
a condition that “creates obstacles to accomplishing life’s basic activities and if these obstacles can be overcome only by compensating in some way for the effects of the impairment”
(Zabrodske, 1999, p. 52)
![Page 22: Trr re organization of disability benefits system](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050922/5584730fd8b42aca538b4c06/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Nordenfeldt (2003) says…
• Disease and Impairment ► Medicine and Health
• Disability and Handicap ► Action Theory and Social Science
![Page 23: Trr re organization of disability benefits system](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050922/5584730fd8b42aca538b4c06/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Disability and Handicap
Only have meaning when associated with action and placed in context
► doing something, somewhere
► must understand the something and the somewhere
(Nordenfeldt, 2003)
![Page 24: Trr re organization of disability benefits system](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050922/5584730fd8b42aca538b4c06/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Impairment

Disability

Disability
1. Person 2. Environment
3. System
![Page 26: Trr re organization of disability benefits system](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050922/5584730fd8b42aca538b4c06/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Disability Policy Objectives Redefined
Rehabilitation Services
BPS Model “captures factors that more directly relate to functional recovery”.
(Loisel, 2009, p. 97)
![Page 27: Trr re organization of disability benefits system](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050922/5584730fd8b42aca538b4c06/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Disability Policy Objectives Redefined
Financial Compensation
“The vast majority of people…who take up disability benefits never return to
work.”
(OECD, 2009, p. 19)
•Disability does not equate with ‘unable to work’
•Financial compensation should support RTW efforts
(Loisel, 2009, p. 97)
![Page 28: Trr re organization of disability benefits system](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050922/5584730fd8b42aca538b4c06/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Another New Definition – Work Disability
“preventable absence or withdrawal from work [which is] disruptive, potentially harmful and costly both to the employee and the employer”
(ACOEM – Ontario Summit to Prevent Work Disability, 2010, p. 5)

Environment• Lack of modifications or

“benefits system itself has a disabling effect on people”
(OECD, 2009, p. 17)
