Dr. Josey's practice and research philosophy is guided by Engel’s Biopsychosocial Model, which provides a framework for understanding the complex interaction between the biological, psychological, and social factors that affect a person’s health and mental health. Unlike other health/illness frameworks (e.g. the traditional biomedical model), this model provides a more comprehensive understanding of a person’s life experiences that contribute to their health status, not just the biological basis of illness/disease.  This framework is consistent with the values of nursing, where we treat a person, not a diagnosis.
