Abstract
The Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF), published by the British Psychological Society (BPS) in 2018, is an attempt to address the question of how we might understand problems in living other than by using psychiatric diagnostic systems. How might we best conceptualize emotional distress and behavior which might concern or trouble others? We describe the context within which the PTMF was developed and explain some of its key elements before giving an overview of the articles in this special issue.Keywords
