PCP offers a framework for clinical psychology practice without psychiatric labels - Dr. Kev Harding’s paper Ep.48

This month’s episode is a reading of Dr Kev Harding’s paper Clinical psychology practice without using psychiatric labels: an alternative approach using Personal Construct Psychology is an interesting read. It invites us to consider PCP as a useful alternative framework from which to practice so that we have a “therapeutic relationship of two equal human beings on a journey to understand the origins of one person’s distress (albeit with one being paid for the encounter)”. The paper is available on the internet.
