Abstract
There has been increasing recognition by health researchers and clinicians of the importance of social and psychological factors in illness. Moreover, the recent emphasis on primary health care has prompted many health care workers to seek a more comprehensive approach to health problems. Such an approach would necessarily require a clearer conceptuality of psychological and social problems which, would serve not only to assist health workers in problem recognition and clinical management of patients but also aid in describing the health status and health care needs of populations. This would in fun assist health planners and governments to set priorities and allocate scarce resources.
