If services are to improve, the way that mental health problems are understood by the services providing care needs to change radically.Aims: To illustrate how a psychological model of mental disorder – the “mediating psychological processes model”– could assist mental health service policy development and implementation.Method: A review of selected literature and policy documents was conducted.Results: A “manifesto” for mental health service policy is presented, based on psychological principles.Conclusions: Psychological models, at least in addition to medical approaches, could better inform policy and service design.
