In this episode of the Integral Health Resources Podcast, I rant about Paxil, bulging discs, and having one’s head lodged in an elephant’s bum. Topics include:
- The “chemical imbalance” model of psychopathology
- The biopsychosocial or “integral” approach to health
- Tigers on porches
- Elephant butts
Summary:
-
Anything less than an integral, bio-psycho-social-cultural way of understanding mental health problems will lead to needlessly limited and ineffective intervention strategies.
