Date of review: December 9, 2022
This is one of those books that always stays on my mind – it highlights an alternative way of framing psychiatric diagnoses in a way that emphasises our personal narratives rather than the labels we are given. It is a controversial read that sits on the somewhat extreme end of anti-diagnostic schools of thought, but I enjoyed the alternative perspective and found myself agreeing and resonating with a lot of what was written. This would be a great read for those who have ever received a diagnosis, those who are suffering in any way and wish to make sense of their stories in an empowering way, or those working in the mental health field.
The Power Threat Meaning Framework by Mary Boyle and Lucy Johnstone is available to purchase on Amazon UK
