According to Stober & Grant (2006), “Thus the medical model replies on a number of components: a distressed client, an explanatory theory for the distress, a diagnosis based on a diagnostic system, and an accompanying treatment derived from the theory, with the resulting outcome seen as due to the specific ingredients of that treatment” (p. 356).
