Applying the Attrition Model to the Medical System: A Critique of the Current Resistance by the Naturopathic Profession in Canada to the Dominant Paradigm.
The premise and attrition model of resistance proposed by some in the anti-psychiatry movement are relevant to all subspecialties of medicine. Themes of monopolization, capitalization and marginalization harmfully affect the delivery of health care across all domains and minimize systemic and structural contributors to health and disease. Naturopathic medicine offers promise to effectively support individuals and communities in navigating modern obstacles to good health but may, in practice, be ina vertently reinforcing the dominant paradigm. The attrition model offers guidance for a steady, strategic resistance instead.
