I notice, reading through all of your wonderful replies and comments that there are some phrases that I am not totally understanding (could be cultural or just my own beautiful ignorance!) I am assuming the Cohesive Narrative is developing a future story and identifying a positive horizon .. ? The 'Disease Model,' is the viewing of mental health issues as a disease ...? The use of language I find fascinating, language that includes, language that excludes, assumed language ... I often ask a people at a conference to close their eyes and imagine the letter 'A'. I ask - who saw a capital one, who saw lower case, who saw and object that began with an 'A' who saw a red one, blue, green, pink etc etc we all see it differently, so how can we ensure that we communicate in a variety of letter 'A's? for me Narrative is one of the best ways.
