Carissa Roberts emailed us and volunteered her own life experiences for a case conceptualization episode using the liberation health model. In this episode we discussed the various problems with the prevailing diagnostic and conceptualization systems in mental health, then use the liberation health triangle to try (scratching the surface of) understanding Carissa's life story and struggles.
