| Abstract | One of the biggest changes to have taken place in the mental health field has been that regarding the treatment of depression. Fifty years ago, the vast majority of people who came for help with depression would have been offered drug treatment with a psychiatrist. This treatment was buttressed by a number of key assumptions - that depression was a physical, organic illness, that this organic illness needed to be treated physically, that this physical treatment should be dispensed and/or supervised by psychiatrists, and that the patient had little role in this treatment.Each of these assumptions had to be unpicked, challenges and amended and Dorothy Rowe has played a notable role in this reformulation, in challenging the primacy of the medical model, suggesting alternative approaches and empowering patients to be active in the treatment process. In this video she talks about the origin and development of her ideas, her interest in depression and the impact that her writing has had. |
