Description

The Power Threat Meaning Framework Overview by Lucy Johnstone and Mary Boyle is an insightful exploration of why people experience distress, confusion, fear, despair, and troubled behaviour. This new perspective offers an alternative to traditional models based on psychiatric diagnosis, instead focusing on the role of power in our lives and how it affects us. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the Power Threat Meaning Framework, summarizing evidence from various fields, including biology, psychology, social structures, politics, and culture. It also examines how we make sense of difficult experiences, and how societal messages can exacerbate feelings of shame, self-blame, isolation, fear, and guilt. This publication is structured to provide a clear understanding of the PTM Framework, its core principles, purposes, and scope, as well as its underlying theory and research.
