Exposing the old - fashioned biological 'disease model of psychiatry as unscientific and unhelpful it calls for a revolution in the way we plan and deliver care. Kinderman challenges the way we think about mental health problems arguing that the origins of distress are largely social and urges a change from a 'disease model to a 'psychosocial model'. The book persuasively argues that we should significantly reduce our use of psychiatric medication and help should be tailored to each person's unique needs. This is a manifesto for an entirely new approach to psychiatric care; one that truly offers care rather than coercion therapy rather than medication and a return to the common sense appreciation that distress is usually an understandable reaction to life's challenges.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: A Prescription For Psychiatry Why We Need A Whole New Approach To Mental Health And Wellbeing\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Kinderman P.\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Palgrave Macmillan\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781137408709\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 212 Pages, Vi, 212 P.\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 9\/3\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Psychotherapy","brand":"Kinderman P.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49613609402673,"sku":"IN-G-9781137408709","price":40.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781137408709.jpg?v=1724462776","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781137408709-a-prescription-for-psychiatry-why-we-need-a-whole-new-approach-to-mental-health-and-wellbeing","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
