If we did not view psychology, especially abnormal personality, from the
nosological, allpathic medical model, how would it appear? If we
sidestepped the "germ" and "warfare" metaphors employed in the traditional
medical model, how would we approach behavior? How would abnormal behavior
be characterized if it was not viewed as a "mental illness?" How would
clinicians interact with clients outside of a "therapy" or "treatment"
modality? How would we view behavior in terms of "diagnosis?"
