E) a bio-psycho-social perspective.

People around the world experience the same diseases differently. This is not the result of differences in biology or in the disease itself. Instead, this stems from differences in culture and in the social understanding of diseases. As this deeply influences a person's experiences with a disease, it is necessary to take psychological and social understandings of a disease into account when treating someone who suffers from them. This is known as the a bio-psycho-social perspective.
