This is very good. There's probably a lot to be written about how the medical model is represented and misrepresented in clinical psychology training discourse.

Brilliant piece, again, by @awaisaftab. So many contradictions in how people write and speak of psychiatry. "Is taking SSRIs an act of pathologizing one’s reactive stress, but taking MDMA is to boldly question the medical model?" Please read.

This, from @awaisaftab, is a must read.
Interesting read (My experience: the term “medical model” is often lazy dismissive shorthand and those using it often struggle to explain exactly what they mean by it)

"If the “medical model” is simply a way of talking about all the ways in which the real-world practice of medicine falls short, then we cannot use that to dismiss the theoretical underpinnings of the medical approach to mental health problems." 💯

Brilliant piece explaining that misconceptions about psychiatry rely on, and feed, misconceptions of medicine.

Great analysis by @awaisaftab of problems with the widely-shared Guardian article by Rose Cartwright on how she rejected the 'medical model' and turned to underground psychedelic therapy instead. psychiatrymargins.com/p/people-are-s…

A fair challenge to a common "internal contradiction" when we think about psychedelics "People Are Stumbling From One Misguided Narrative About the Medical Model to Another" by @awaisaftab psychiatrymargins.com/p/people-are-s…
“If we want political change, we have to undertake the difficult, messy work of politics. No model applied in the clinic will do that for you.”

Blackthorne: you tell them this is some of the most small-minded and shallow feedback i've ever received and i'm NOT adding a section about that Mariko: the Anjin says he would like to thank two anonymous reviewers, whose thoughtful feedback greatly improved this article.

Blackthorne: The great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland. Riddled with fire and ash and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly! Mariko: The Anjin protests one does not simply walk into Mordor.
