The author argues that it is possible to identify a shared and</p> <p align="LEFT">coherent perception of the disease among the staff and illustrates this by introducing</p> <p align="LEFT">and discussing the theoretical concept of disease models. It is further is</p> <p align="LEFT">argued that the field of psychiatry is a pertinent environment for identifying a</p> <p align="LEFT">disease model among staff.
