Abstract

Abstract In remembrance of Prof. Loren R.Mosher, MD. (1933-2004). More power to the people, the users and the workers in psychiatric and psychotherapeutic community services. The way we treat human beings as human beings is our treatment. The heart in a sensible psychotherapy is the concept of“being with”, in con-trast to the usual leading belief of “doing for”. The voice of experi-ence informs the models of madness.

Keywords Madness; explanatory models; psychotherapy; psychi-atry; Soteria.
