About our project

The problem we solve: Right now there are no viable diagnostic alternatives to the DSM. Life Formulation is a robust alternative diagnostic that allows practitioners to describe in clear, everyday, non-medical language what their clients are presenting and what they propose to do to help, thereby revolutionizing diagnosis and treatment.

About our solution: Life Formulation solves the current diagnostic and treatment problems presented by a focus on the DSM by providing practitioners with a smart, simple, useful seven category template, perfect for an application, that allows them to say everything they need to say about their client's distress and about treatment options.

How we will use the funds raised

The money will be used to create an application that mental health providers can use so that they can begin diagnosing using the Life Formulation model.

Thank You

I am spearheading a future of mental health movement, described in The Future of Mental Health (Transaction Publishers) and on my Psychology Today blog "Rethinking Mental Health," and a vital part of that changed mental health landscape is a new diagnostic system that doesn't rely on the DSM and that does a better job than current methods of expressing what is really going on for clients in distress who come to mental health professionals looking for more than a one-size-fits-all label.

  Marj Penley posted on 4th September 2016 I support the project 100 per cent. In over 30 years as a licensed therapist, I have never found the DSM to be helpful. You have done so much through your writing and classes in the field of creativity, I hope you can do as much in mental health.
