虽然在生物、心理和社会过程之间的联系方面取得了进展，但生物心理社会模型在健康心理学方面的全部潜力仍然没有得到开发。在这篇文章中，4个领域，需要解决，以确保生物心理社会模式的持续发展，并确定了一系列的建议，针对研究，培训，实践和干预措施，以及政策划定。这些建议强调需要更好地理解和利用生物、心理、社会和宏观文化变量之间的联系。促进科学家、从业者和决策者采用多系统、多层次和多变量取向的活动将最有效地导致生物心理社会视角所设想的跨学科贡献。
Although advances have been made in specifying connections between biological, psychological, and social processes, the full potential of the biopsychosocial model for health psychology remains untapped. In this article, 4 areas that need to be addressed to ensure the continued evolution of the biopsychosocial model are identified and a series of recommendations concerning initiatives directed at research, training, practice and intervention, and policy are delineated. These recommendations emphasize the need to better understand and utilize linkages among biological, psychological, social, and macrocultural variables. Activities that facilitate the adoption of a multisystem, multilevel, and multivariate orientation among scientists, practitioners, and policymakers will most effectively lead to the kinds of transdisciplinary contributions envisioned by the biopsychosocial perspective.
