So axis I and axis II tools to see where do you stand in the crazy scale. That sounds to me like another theory that wraps up the definitions I'm againsts. I rather have another theory, a more positive, non stigma related theory. You understand what I mean?
Because mental health is complex, no theory can aspire to account for all its intricacies. I find the five-axis model useful and orthogonal to the stigma.
Thanks for this!
