Dr. Glasser will explain that there is such as entity as mental health and will define it in such a way that it is completely separated from what is now called mental illness and collected in the DSM-IV. He believes that by using Choice Theory, clients can be taught how to improve their own mental health. By doing this the medical model is no longer needed and should be replaced by a public health model.

 

Educational Objectives:

1. To describe a model of mental health that is totally separate from the DSM-IV definitions of mental illnesses.
2. To describe the advantages of moving from the medical model to the public health model.
