NeuroBioPsychoSocial Eco-Educational Well-Becoming

The medical profession had for a long time a biological emphasis for looking at illness (for 200 years) and basically ignored people’s contributing psychologies and social behaviors. Engel’s BioPsychoSocial model (1977) argued that illness could also be caused by psycho-social reasons and that doctors needed more social “bedside manner”. Education can also benefit from understanding the biopsychosocial of students. The cognitive bias in SLA needs expanding for more ecological humanistic education.
