Two Major Perspective
One is Biomedical tradition – A approach which claims that disease is solely because of biological factors.
Later , scientist developed the germ theory ( disease caused by microorganisms, proposed in the mid 16th century) by focusing on the structure and genes to define and understand illness and disease.
Limitations of this approach was that this tradition is full with somatic correlates.
Critics argued that under the light of this tradition we still don't know the actual aetiology of diseases. Though it is still an important phenomenon in understanding illness but it does not give adequate account for illness and disease.<br>
slide12. History 2. The Psychosocial Perspective : this perspective focussed on the psychological and social factors of illness. 1940’s this wide phenomenon merged into one field called “ psychosomatic medicine”

By 1960’s there was a change in perspective as the research line demonstrated that how personality and behaviours cause the disease. For ex. Smoking and overeating correlate to some major diseases.
During 1960’s due to increase in stressful events it was implicated that stressful life events are the risk factors for illness.<br>
