The biopsychosocial approach is very important for physical therapists to enabling them to act with human beings, in a global way, not only focusing their attention only on the pathology, but also on the ill person as a whole. The comprehension of the profession and the concepts of health illness, and patient, are also needed for the physical therapists to consider their intervention on a more extended basis than only on the rehabilitation one. The purpose of this study is to investigate the comprehension of the last year´s Physical therapy students from a private University in São Paulo about health illness, patient, Physical therapy and the relationship between physical therapist and their patients, associating the understanding to the existent health models. In order to achieve these objectives it uses authors of the Health Psychology who defend the biopsychosocial approach, and also authors of Physical therapy and Medicine who write about the models for graduation curriculae of health professionals. Ten semi-structured interviews were led with students, asking about the subjects of the study. The results were analyzed qualitatively, using the construction of analysis categories to answer the objectives of the research. In conclusion, the students noticed some phsychological and social aspects of patients, but not in a clear way and in most of the students, this knowledge was adquired outside the University. Eventhough, the topics on humanities are included in their course, but at the time of the graduation, students don´t reach the objectives of a human comprehension of patient, and oscillate between the biomedical and biopsychosocial model
