Models of Health
and Disease
In this section we will investigate the fundamental differences between the default and the bliss models, including scientific literature and evidence for both. We will delve into the limitations of the default model and study the logic behind the bliss model and how such an approach can be practical, useful, and meaningful. Importantly, we will see that a truly holistic approach negates neither model but harmoniously incorporates both. We will begin with the end in mind by assessing the manifold benefits of such an integrative model.
