Suggestions are made for revising psychiatric terminology in line with current criticisms of the medical model. “Orientation” is substituted, where possible, for terms such as “disorder,” “illness,” “disturbance,” “reaction,” and “behavior.” Other psychological terms are suggested as substitutions for psychiatric terms in cases where “orientation” seems inappropriate
