Özet:

Current developments in psychology, medicine, and physiology research have brought knowledge about health and disease to a new way of thinking. This new conceptual network has brought the biopsychosocial (BPS) perspective to the biomedical approach that centers health and disease around the perspective of the scientist, practitioner and sees the biological aspects of humans as the main focus. This change from biomedical approach to biopsychosocial medicine is based on holistic evaluation at every stage of medical practice. In this approach, health psychology (medical psychology) has made a significant contribution. In this study, the place of the biopsychosocial model in health psychology practices is examined and it is aimed to be better understood by those responsible for health services. In addition, the role of health psychology in health promotion and development in Turkey and the current process were evaluated and new study suggestions were presented. The effort to understand how the biopsychosocial model affects health and the approach to illness has been discussed within the current literature and its role in health promotion has been evaluated. In the axis of this paradigm shift about health and disease in modern medicine, the role of health psychology in health promotion and development in Turkey and the current process are evaluated and new study proposals are presented.
