The Tidal Model

A compass for recovery-oriented psychiatric care

Description

The Tidal Model by Phil Barker and Poppy Buchanan-Barker describes a recovery-oriented psychiatric service based on the human experience of mental distress. The focus is not on diagnoses but on the personal stories and experiences of people with mental health challenges. This model enables professionals to implement person-centered services. The first part, following an interview with the authors, introduces the Tidal Model. It presents the 10 Commitments, the beliefs for tidal-oriented practitioners, the 20 resulting competencies, and the live documentation belonging to the model. The following three parts are dedicated to the three dimensions: the Self, where the focus is on building a bridging relationship and creating a personal safety plan; the World dimension, where a holistic assessment is conducted; and the Other dimension, whose main focus is on group work. The practical implementation and scientific classification of the Tidal Model are discussed in the last part. New to the 2nd edition are supplementary contributions on the application of the model in acute psychiatry, outpatient psychiatric care, and gerontopsychiatric care. The original recovery-oriented psychiatric care by Barker - understanding people with mental health challenges as experts by experience, listening to their stories, and searching with them for ways of mental support.
