The disease is not reducible to its precise nature care. Being a suffering it entails a certain "living " and some subjective "approach " of the patient that interests his whole personality.
Suffering is never isolated or unique. It is communicated by the sick people , in order to find an agreement, aid and its remedies.
The communication of the suffering inaugurates the medical act. It establishes the encounter between doctor and patient. For these reasons, suffering is not equivalent to the disease. Suffering is the situation experienced by a patient as his own private, intimate state. The disease is the result of the recognizing of suffering by the physician.
Suffering is inside, while the disease is suffering protrudes objective. On these considerations we must discern, beyond the purely medical aspect of the disease an anthropological dimension. Medical psychology, focusing primarily on the suffering as a verge spiritual phenomenon, will explore, first, the anthropological aspects of it.
The element that summarizes the anthropological dimension of the disease are pathological models, of etiological or therapeutic type. These models are theoretical constructions having an operator character.
The effort to build models of the disease is to identify the presence of a speech, the core of meaning expressed, starting from an etiological or therapeutic option.
