Modelo biopsicossocial na avaliação da deficiência: deficiência não é um código da CID
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The identification of people with disabilities for social policies is in theoretical, political, and social dispute in Brazil. The aim is to transition from the biomedical model, based on medical reports with a code of the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), to the biopsychosocial model with a multi-professional and interdisciplinary evaluation as provided for in the Brazilian Law of Inclusion. This theoretical study attempts to present some support for the discussion on the assessment of disability. It presents a theoretical-conceptual dispute as a matrix for reflection, assessment instruments, and political movements related to social actors. This appraisal seeks to fill a gap in the Brazilian scientific literature, broadening the debate on Disability Studies, as well as providing information in straightforward language for health professionals, and people with disabilities.
