Dr Lucy Johnstone is perhaps one of the most vocal campaigners for ways of describing distress that do not identify people as being ill or disordered.  As one of the authors of the Power Threat Meaning Framework, in this episode Lucy describes how the model came together and how it can be applied in society.  We also explore some of the polarities that arise when these issues are debated, particularly on social media.
