"LA JUSTICIA SOCIAL NO ES UNA ABERRACIÓN, ES UN MANDATO EVANGÉLICO". Psicólogo, docente ignaciano, porteño hincha de Belgrano. A.M.D.G ✞☯︎

From the paper: "Several high-quality trials have shown that universal mental health interventions based on mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy and general mental health awareness can all have negative outcomes, including an increase in internalizing symptoms." As critics have been arguing all along, individualised, medicalised and decontextualised models & narratives are not only net ineffective, but even contribute to and exacerbate social & psychological issues and distress. We dont face a crisis of 'mental disorders' in need of medical or cognitive treatment, we face a socio-psychological crisis and a crisis of medicalisation in need of a societal rethink.
