The Social Construction of Mental Illness and Its Implications for
Neuroplasticity examines how the current concept of mental illness
in society informs the dialogic skills and perspectives of
psychotherapists. The common interpretation of unconventional
behavior as a symptom of illness has marginalized the creative
class and deterred mental health professionals from developing the
skills and perspectives needed to empower their clients. Too often
the neuroplasticity of the human brain is ignored in favor of the
organizing metaphor of chemical imbalance which often results in
the relegation of clients' needs to the pharmaceutical industry.
Michael T. Walker encourages psychotherapists to evolve their
practice by considering the new information available in
neuroscience, psychotherapy outcome studies, and postmodern
psychotherapies.
