The aim of this publication is to improve the understanding of sickness and disability associated with common health problems - the mild/moderate mental health, musculoskeletal and cardio respiratory symptoms that now account for about two-thirds of long-term sickness absence, incapacity benefits and ill-health retirement.
This publication reviews the medical model, various social models and the role of personal and psychological factors.
