The social anthropologist and physician Arthur Kleinman (1980, 1988) has suggested that we can compare and contrast different ways of understanding health and illness, including biomedicine, through the notion of 'explanatory models': narrative frameworks used by lay and professional people, Western and non-Western, modern and pre-modern . For instance, a classification tree with hundreds of nodes is difficult to understand, as is a linear regression model with hundreds of coefficients. The domain-specificity hypothesis predicted that psycho . Note that linking changes in the model's predictions to changes in particular explanatory variables may be difficult when there are many variables and/or coefficients in the model. Interest in so-called explanatory models of disease and illness emerged in the 1970s, largely from the field of medical anthropology, with an emphasis on non-western cultures [], later applied to medical care in the US [].For decades, medical anthropologists have distinguished between "Disease" and "Illness" models [3-5].

An explanatory model is a useful description of why and how a thing works or an explanation of why a phenomenon is the way it is. These studies show that illness explanatory frameworks are not necessarily tied to single cognitive domains and that the notion of cognitive domains is not sufficient to explain how people construct causal models of illness. The current studies explore causal models of heart attack and depression generated from American healers whom use distinct explanatory frameworks. How can we best develop explanatory models for psychiatric disorders? These differences can be broadly generalized in terms of two explanatory traditions--naturalistic and personalistic.

Strategy Overview. The Patient Explanatory Model. The illness explanatory model framework as it is now commonly understood developed in the late 1970s, and it is associated most closely with the influence of Arthur Kleinman and networks in cul- tural psychiatry, medicine and medical anthropo- logy.
