title: Medical and nonmedical models in clinical practice and training.
abstract: Dealing with the range of events encountered by mental health professionals requires both anatomic/physiologic and psychologic/behavioral viewpoints. These viewpoints belong to two different universes of discourse, and their languages are not mutually translatable. For responsible clinical practice, both medical and nonmedical models are necessary and neither model is sufficient.
