The Power Threat Meaning Framework offers a very different framework, a very different understanding. So it's something that you can use as an understanding and you could apply.
Ever wondered if there's a different way to understand mental health beyond traditional diagnoses? In this episode of 'The Therapeutic Poet', host Jacky Power chats with clinical psychologist Anne Darcy about a groundbreaking approach known as the Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF). Darcy, who works in a personality disorder unit, sheds light on why conventional mental health labels can be problematic and introduces PTMF as a refreshing alternative.
Instead of asking 'what is wrong with you', this framework shifts the focus to 'what has happened to you' and how power dynamics have shaped your experiences. Developed by a team of senior psychologists and high-profile service user campaigners, PTMF aims to move away from the biological approach that often attributes mental health issues to hereditary factors or chemical imbalances. Instead, it considers the cultural and social contexts of stress and how individuals respond to it.
Darcy provides real-life examples to illustrate how PTMF can be more flexible and accessible than traditional methods. This episode is perfect for anyone curious about new perspectives in mental health treatment and the potential for a paradigm shift in how we approach mental well-being. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that challenges conventional wisdom and offers fresh insights into understanding trauma and mental health.
