  • Soteria – a Treatment Model and a Reform Movement in Psychiatry
    1 Soteria – a treatment model and a reform movement in psychiatry By Volkmar Aderhold - Translated by Peter Stastny - September 2006 In honour of Loren Mosher “Everyone is much more simply human than otherwise” H.S.Sullivan - The interpersonal theory of psychiatry Introduction The Soteria treatment model was originated by the American Psychiatrist Loren Mosher during the early 1970s. As director of the Schizophrenia Branch at the National Institute Mental Health (1968-1980) he developed two federally-funded research demonstration projects: “Soteria” (1971-1983) and “Emanon” (1974-1980). The aim was to investigate the effects of a supportive milieu therapy (“being with”) for individuals diagnosed with “schizophrenia” (DSM-II), who were experiencing acute psychotic episodes for the first or second time in their lives. In these programs neuroleptics were either completely avoided, or given in low dosages only. Since the founding of Soteria Bern by Luc Ciompi in 1984, similar programs have been developed in Europe, mostly in the form of residential facilities situated in proximity to psychiatric hospitals. Initiatives to promote such programs are currently active around the world. Due to the expectation that neuroleptics would be used selectively, in acute as well as long-term situations, the program’s challenge to the medical model of “schizophrenia,” and the wide acceptance of inpatient treatment provided by mental health professionals (Mosher & Hendrix 2004, p. 282), the Soteria model has been consistently marginalized in psychiatric discourse and largely ignored in the scientific literature. On the other hand, during the past twenty years the Soteria approach has become quite influential within the debate about the optimal therapeutic methods and the development of state-of-the-art acute inpatient services.

  • Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy Appropriate, and Have to Use Force, Which Constitutes a Threat
    Winter 2010 Peter Lehmann 209 Medicalization and Peter * Lehmann Irresponsibility Through the example of an adolescent harmed by a variety of psychiatric procedures this paper concludes that bioethical and legal action (involving public discussion of human rights violations) should be taken to prevent further uninhibited unethical medicalization of problems that are largely of a social nature. Each human being loses, if even one single person allows himself to be lowered for a purpose. (Theodor Gottlieb von Hippel the Elder, 1741–1796, German enlightener) Beside imbalance and use of power, medicalization – the social definition of human problems as medical problems – is the basic flaw at the heart of the psychiatric discipline in the opinion of many social scientists, of users and survivors of psychiatry and critical psychiatrists. Like everywhere, in the discussion of medicalization there are many pros and cons as well as intermediate positions. When we discuss medicalization, we should have a very clear view, what medicalization can mean in a concrete way for an individual and which other factors are connected with medicalization; so we can move from talk to action. Medicalization and irresponsibility often go hand in hand. Psychiatry as a scientific discipline cannot do justice to the expectation of solving mental problems that are largely of a social nature. Its propensity and practice are not * Lecture, June 29, 2010, presented to the congress ‘The real person’, organized by the University of Preston (Lancashire), Institute for Philosophy, Diversity and Mental Health, in cooperation with the European Network of (ex-) Users and Survivors of Psychiatry (ENUSP) in Manchester within the Parallel Session ‘Psychiatric Medicalization: User and Survivor Perspectives’ (together with John Sadler, Professor of Medical Ethics & Clinical Sciences at the UT Southwestern, Dallas, and Jan Verhaegh, philosopher and ENUSP board-member, Valkenburg aan de Geul, The Netherlands).

Reviewing literature on the paradigms of expressive arts therapy, critical race feminism, and the medical model of mental health, the author argues how systemic oppression in such forms as racism, classism and ableism contribute to the issues of mental health accessibility for individuals who possess historically marginalized identities in the United States.

  • Abolishing the Concept of Mental Illness
    ABOLISHING THE CONCEPT OF MENTAL ILLNESS In Abolishing the Concept of Mental Illness: Rethinking the Nature of Our Woes, Richard Hallam takes aim at the very concept of mental illness, and explores new ways of thinking about and responding to psychological distress. Though the concept of mental illness has infiltrated everyday language, academic research, and public policy-making, there is very little evidence that woes are caused by somatic dysfunction. This timely book rebuts arguments put forward to defend the illness myth and traces historical sources of the mind/body debate. The author presents a balanced overview of the past utility and current disadvantages of employing a medical illness metaphor against the backdrop of current UK clinical practice. Insightful and easy to read, Abolishing the Concept of Mental Illness will appeal to all professionals and academics working in clinical psychology, as well as psychotherapists and other mental health practitioners. Richard Hallam worked as a clinical psychologist, researcher, and lecturer until 2006, mainly in the National Health Service and at University College London and the University of East London. Since then he has worked independently as a writer, researcher, and therapist.

  • Mark Ragins, M.D
    Recovery: Changing From A Medical Model To A Psychosocial Rehabilitation Mode by Mark Ragins, M.D. Ever since Kraeplin defined schizophrenia, or dementia praecox, 100 vears ago, as a chronic, unremitting, gradually deteriorating condition, it has been difficult to talk credibly about or work towards recovery with severe mental illness. The relationship between treatment professionals, patients and their families has frequently been frustrating, unsatisfying, and noncollaborative often to the point of coercion. Clients and families are often waiting for their illnesses to go away, or be cured, in order to go on with their lives and are angry at professionals for not helping them, or doing anything for them, since their lives are not improving at all. At present, most people on all sides have abandoned the process entirely out of despair. Very few psychiatrists treat the chronically mentally ill and increasing numbers of patients are described as "treatment resistant" and families are "burned out" and disengaged. The result is the abandonment, neglect and deterioration we see all around us. All this hopelessness exists despite clear evidence of the growing efficacy of our treatments, and more benign outcomes than traditionally thought. I would argue that the problem may be as much in our conceptual model of treatment and recovery as in the inherent nature of the conditions. Schizophrenics in third world countries are regularly reported to have better outcomes than here. Also people with schizophrenia who explain their conditions spiritually, instead of medically, apparently fare better. The medical model tends to define recovery in negative terms. Symptoms and complaints need to be eliminated.
