Abstract
This comment focuses on a topic that is implied but not explicated in C.R. Snyder and T.R. Elliott's article (this issue): The biopsychosocial model. I begin by discussing the status of health care, taking up in turn its tremendous problems and the negative effects of a system built on mind–body dualism. I argue for a transformation of the biomedical system to a biopsychosocial system. I then discuss the opportunities for psychology and the implications for training. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
