Description
Description:
Dr. Glasser has moved away from the DSM-IV and the medical model. He does not believe that any of the mental illnesses diagnosed in the DSM-IV actually exist because none of them are associated with pathology in the brain. By using Choice Theory he has moved from the medical school model to the public health model to show how counselors can deliver mental health more effectively than psychiatrists are doing now and at a fraction of what we are now spending.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe how mental health can be completely separate from mental illness.
- To describe how mental health can be delivered directly to clients with the public health or educational model.
