<p>“the use of more of a medical model perspective” If you think you can subscribe to the medical model as a therapist in the field as it is now, you’re not going to be happy. Any ethical therapist embraces the recovery model and MDs are moving in that direction as well. I’m not sure if you’re just uninitiated but the medical model is/was part of the problem in therapeutic relationships. You will be in the minority and will probably have difficulty with colleagues and clients if you take the less enlightened view.</p>
