Understanding people, instead of calling it a biological illness

A really great article, that explains the consequences of being indoctrinated into a biological model of “illness” versus the results of being understood as a human being dealing with life issues and conflicts, is available at http://bipolarblast.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/nami-parents-false-hope/ By Ty Colbert, this article also explains how children can be traumatized despite being raised in good homes, and how good parents, fed bad ideas by biologically oriented psychiatrists and by NAMI, can inadvertently cause further trauma once people are “diagnosed.”

  • Ron,
    isn’t it brilliant? thanks for sharing!

    if you care to leave a comment on my blog—this post has offended a number of NAMI people…would like educated sober responses to counter those who have been offended.
