Real Play: A Bio-Psycho-Social Network Approach to Looking at Your Problems With Dr. Diana Hill and Emily Fan

Published on: 10th July, 2023

This real play is like stepping into a therapy room with Dr. Diana Hill. Diana demonstrates how to view your problems as an interconnected network of biological, sociocultural, and psychological factors. The DSM is limited when it comes to looking at the complexity of human beings. It lacks individualization, tends to medicalize your problems, overemphasizes symptom reduction, and does not guide well which direction to go. Instead, you can explore the many factors that interact to create your problems so that you can intervene more effectively. Diana walks you through how to do this yourself.
