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.
