Being a psychosocial oriented mental health practitioner working in an organization that purports the biomedical model, this is so validating to read. I am relieved to know studies are being done on this and that I am not alone in feeling conflict with the biomedical model. It can be so disheartening and frustrating when everyone around you feeds off the biomedical model as if it is the irrefutable truth that practitioners must hound into their clients. Seeing clients feed into it, and it harm them more than help, leads me to feel the biomedical model of oppression will continue.
