It sounds very good to me, but if it is a matter of self-individuation and not treatment of disorder or disease, why on earth would insurance pay for it? Maybe you're not thinking that it should, though...

Hi Cheryl,
I'm an academic physician (formerly at Harvard and Stanford) who found your blog while looking for the best health writers. I think your writing is great! I would like to feature you in the Mental Health Community on Wellsphere, a top 10 health website that has well over 2 million visitors monthly.
If you would like to learn more, just drop me an email.
There are multiple paths toward individuation -- Jacobi talks about them in her book -- and therapy is one path.
But I am a heretic and don't think therapy should be covered by insurance for a host of reasons.
Hi Cheryl, just on question. What do you mean with "once a DSM diagnosis is given it is never removed"?
Many thanks
Nuno
Remission seems to be what is aimed for in the medical model. Which means not cure, but rather not active. This makes sense when you consider that the diagnoses don't really fit the notion of illness with a definable cause.
