I deliberately used the term "sociopsychobiological" in my previous post. This was to try and reverse the eclectic understanding of the biopsychosocial model of mental illness. I do agree with the biopsychosocial model of George Engel (eg. see previous post). But psychiatrists often claim they are biopsychosocial when in fact they are merely supporting a weaker form of the biomedical model (see extract from my last chapter of Critical Psychiatry (2006)).
Moving from an outdated physical disease model of mental illness to a more relational mental health practice

I have to say I have some pretty big reservations about this, regardless of how you put the order. To me, it feels kind of like saying that eating is a stomach-mouth-meat-pleasure-cooking-dinner-social-brain phenomenon.
