The simplest answer to the question of ‘What do we do instead of diagnosing people?’ is ‘Stop diagnosing people’. The argument that we need a fully worked-out alternative system before we can abandon something that is admitted to be non-valid, even by the people who invented it, is, in my view, a complete red herring. And the simplest current alternative is to ask people what their problems are, and start from there.” Lucy Johnstone, A Straight Talking Introduction to Psychiatric Diagnosis, PCCS Books 18

Most importantly, I found other people who wanted to hear these complex and unpleasant stories, who were capable of taking them as they were, and who trusted my version of reality even when I couldn’t really express it.” Jasna Russo, Searching for a Rose Garden, PCCS Books 28

Physicians and therapists keep readers at a distance. I invite you to come close and experience this world for yourself.’ (Tillmann-Healy, 1996: 79–80).
