back from the borderline - Podcast autorstwa mollie adler

Uncover the seismic shift in global mental health perspectives as we delve into the newest groundbreaking WHO and UN Guidance that challenges the very foundations of contemporary psychiatry, exposing the routine violation of international human rights in mental health practices worldwide. Join me as we navigate the key revelations—psychiatry's overreliance on the biomedical model, the emphasis on detention and involuntary treatment, and the exclusion of individuals with mental disorders from decision-making. Together, we’ll discover how the Guidance advocates for a fundamental shift toward a human-centered, rights-based, and community-driven psychiatry. This episode unravels the clash between established psychiatric norms and the inexorable call for change, providing insight into a potential revolution in the field of mental health. Tune in to explore the powerful forces shaping the future of psychiatric practices and the profound implications for mental health legislation worldwide.REFERENCES FROM THIS EPISODE:Article referenced in this episode: “The New WHO and UN Guidance: Psychiatry Must Entirely Change” by Niall Mclaren (11/18/2023)Click here watch the full launch of the Joint WHO/OHCHR guidance and practice on mental health, human rights and legislation.Enjoyed this episode?
