Deconstructing the Medical Model Tomi Gomory

How does the medical model of psychiatry, which proposes that mental health challenges are biological brain diseases, operate under significant scientific fallacies? Can the assumptions of this model often cause more harm than good? Tomi Gomory, associate professor of social work at Florida State University, and co-author (with David Cohen and Stuart Kirk) of "Mad Science: Psychiatric Coercion, Diagnosis, and Drugs," discusses the limitations of the medical model, and how can we better support people experiencing emotional distress. http://csw.fsu.edu/faculty/tomi-gomory/  http://bit.ly/LoqI1L
