Hi Ronelle, I had never heard of the Fountain House Model prior to your post. If anyone is interested, I found a link that gives some information: http://www.fountainhouse.org/art_pedestal.html To make a more global point, I would propose that a model or frame of reference is used to guide the collection, analysis and synthesis of information and is utilized in the formulation of your response to that information. If one subscribes to a particular model or group of models then it is inherent that treatment plans would reflect the assumptions of that model or frame of reference.
