Lucy Johnstone - Against Psychiatric Diagnosis
Listen now
Description
Dr Lucy Johnstone is a controversial mental health professional who thinks that psychiatry, as currently practised, is bad for us. We discuss why Lucy thinks diagnosis in psychiatry is wrong and dangerous, her objections to the use of psychiatric drugs and her deep misgivings about the biomedical model in general. Lucy's new initiative - the Power Threat Meaning Framework - is the basis for a radically different approach to mental health and the culmination of her life’s work.
