Fleisher, David R.
The biomedical model limits the role of the physician to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. It fails when applied to patients whose symptoms cannot be reduced to physiochemical terms or “cured” by technological means. Such patients, however, comprise the majority of those encountered in clinical practice. The biopsychosocial model explains the role of the physician to that of coping with an illness and searching for conditions that contribute to the patient's suffering. Disease is viewed as only one of several potential components of illness, and the diagnosis and treatment of disease is viewed as one part of the effort to overcome illness and enhance well-being. Healing, which encompasses more than curing disease, is the process of overcoming illness and enhancing wellbeing. The term clinical process theory is intended to encompass the principles and definitions by which clinicians make the distinctions between what is therapeutic, nontherapeutic, and counter-therapeutic in managing illness.The biopsychosocial model is particularly useful in functional gastronintestinal disorders because - unlike giardiasis, for example - functional disorders are seldom amenable to passively received “cures.”

Fleisher, David R.
What is the essence of clinical caring, how can its value be determined, and what are its origins? Caring for a patient is a bit like loving someone. In both cases, the wellbeing of the person who is loved or the patient who is cared for is felt to be overridingly important. Good clinical care goes beyond the diagnostic services, prescriptions or operations that the patient is billed for. It includes services done free of charge for the satisfaction of easing the patients' distress or enhancing their sense of security or optimism while they cope with illness. Love and clinical caring are not commodities to which a market value has relevance. They have value without price. Whereas a person in the business of selling services is motivated by the prospect of making a profit, the altruistic clinician is motivated by the desire to help the patient. He or she is paid to be sustained, albeit comfortably, not to be made rich.

Fleisher, David R.
Functional fecal soiling has been categorized as “primary” (i.e., continuous from infancy) and “secondary” (i.e., onset after gaining control of fecal continence). The “primary” vs. “secondary” classification interferes with the problem of how to help a child overcome soiling.
