However, the only model there is to work from at present, is the medical model of mental health (DSM and ICD), and so there have been no alternatives, other than to refer people to their doctor, to mental health teams, and then to psychiatric medication. As a family law barrister and academic, I have long been concerned about the pathologisation of women in care proceedings and private law children proceedings. No matter where you reside in the world, you can now book on to any of our courses and time zones which suit you best!

VictimFocus Trainers and Accredited Practitioners are independent professionals (employed or self-employed) who have undertaken our training and assessment and gained our accreditation.

The service rejects the pathologisation of their clients, and does not support the pathologisation of responses to human trauma.

The book is a really clear breakdown of the different approaches to mental health, offering a nuanced perspective that is well-evidenced and backed up.
