    George Engel first conceptualized the biopsychosocial theory in 1977 to view health and illness as influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. The theory has three parts - biological factors like living things, psychological factors like thoughts and emotions, and social factors like family and work issues. It also identifies four factors that influence health - predisposing conditions, precipitating issues or events, perpetuating conditions, and protective environmental characteristics. Engel died in 1999 and his biopsychosocial model remains influential in medicine.
