TRANSCRIPT
Clips from the cast of “Take These Broken Wings.”
I don’t use the medical model when I sit down. I do not formulate any diagnosis at all when I sit down with somebody. I don’t care — I don’t even think about it. I want to know the person’s story and what she’s about and what her struggle is.
Medical model thinking is a symptom checklist, which then are gathered together into categories and then treated as if it’s a medical problem — usually with drugs.
The therapist can act as a reliable guide, a guide into the mind — into the horrors, and a guide with regard to the realities of the world.
