| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the final issue of a special series dedicated to exploring diagnostic alternatives to conventional mental health frameworks, specifically the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and the International Classification of Diseases. It highlights the importance of lived experiences in understanding mental health challenges and critiques the traditional diagnostic model, emphasizing the need for epistemic justice and the inclusion of expert-by-experience perspectives. The issue features various articles that propose new conceptual models and frameworks, such as the Power Threat Meaning Framework, which aim to provide non-pathologizing approaches to mental health. Overall, the series seeks to elevate the voices of those affected by psychiatric diagnoses and to reimagine the practice of psychiatric diagnosis. [Extracted from the article] |
