Clips from the cast of "Take These Broken Wings"
I don't use the medical model when I sit down.
I do not formulate any diagnosis at all when I sit down with somebody.
I don't care -- I don't even think about it.
I want to know the person's story and what she's about and what her struggle is.
Medical model thinking is a symptom checklist,
which then are gathered together into categories and then treated as if it's a medical problem --
usually with drugs.
The therapist can act as a reliable guide
a guide into the mind --
into the horrors, and a guide with regard to the realities of the world.
