Open dialogues raises our attention to the fact that maybe our standard of practice- treating people in extreme states with antipsychotics and treating them in isolation from their families and with lowered frequency and with a strong medical model where we go into the interview, a priority thinking in terms of diagnoses and treatment may not be the only way to go about things that you've studied and have been teaching.
Ever thought about how mental health treatment could be more inclusive and communicative? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Mary Olson, Ph.D., an expert in communication and family therapy, to revisit the Open Dialogue Approach. This method flips the script on traditional mental health treatments by prioritizing open communication and involving family members in the recovery process. Dr.
Olson shares her extensive experience and research, highlighting how this approach can be more effective than conventional methods that often rely heavily on antipsychotic medications. The conversation touches on various aspects, from the benefits of reducing medication to the importance of humility in mental health care. Whether you're dealing with psychosis, substance abuse, or just curious about alternative treatments, this episode offers valuable insights that challenge the status quo.
Tune in to discover how a more human-centered approach can make a world of difference.
