Sommario/riassunto

This book explores theoretical alternatives to the psychiatric model of mental disorder labeling, critiquing the dominant biomedical paradigm. It presents a collection of contemporary frameworks, taxonomies, and models that emphasize humanistic, non-medicalized, and non-pathological approaches to mental health. The editors and contributors aim to shift the paradigm in mental health by addressing the foundational flaws of the DSM and proposing diverse perspectives for understanding and supporting individuals experiencing suffering and distress. The book is intended for mental health professionals, scholars, and advocates seeking to challenge conventional practices and promote cognitive liberty.
