Summary:
"Millions of individuals worldwide receive unwarranted "
mental
disorder diagnoses." How
mental
health providers can improve their practices to better serve individuals in distress and necessary steps for a
mental
health revolution. Eric Maisel's goal is to inject more human interaction into the therapeutic process. A deconstruction of the "
mental
disorder" paradigm that is the foundation of current
mental
health practices. The author presents a revolutionary alternative, a "human experience" paradigm. The differences between so-called "psychiatric medication"and mere chemicals with powerful effects. Why the DSM-5 is silent on causes, silent on treatment, and wedded to illegitimate "symptom pictures." Powerful helping alternatives like communities of care, and why one day "human experience specialists" may replace current
mental
health professionals. An important book for both service providers and service users, an unmasking of current
mental
health practices and what we are obliged to do in order to secure better
mental
health services - and better
mental
health - for everyone. Psychotherapist Eric Maisel writes the "Rethinking
Mental
Health" column for Psychology Today magazine.--Provided by publisher.
