This question is incomplete. The options for this question are:

a. psychoanalytic theory

b. a biopsychosocial approach

c. linkage analysis

d. the medical model

e. the learning perspective

The biopsychosocial approach, as its name says, considers biological, psychological, and social factors and their interactions when it comes to the understanding of health and illness. According to this approach, these three factors are related and the three of them have an effect on our health and our illnesses.

In this example, Dr. Jones argues that depression involves the influences of self-focused rumination (psychological factor), social rejection (social factor) and low serotonin levels (biological factors). We can see that he is considering all psychological, social and biological factors. Therefore, Dr. Jones' emphasis best illustrates the biopsychosocial approach.
