It seems to me that there has been plenty of studies and research done, and the 12 Step-Programs are certainly a testament to that. <BR/><BR/>I agree with you, it is all fine and good setting up a crisis center if the programs they implement work and are spiritual based in its nature. Otherwise, you simply have more talk but not really any lasting solutions. Something is wrong when it is said that no real results are evident after being in this field for that many years as this post here indicates. That is very troubling to me.<BR/><BR/>I am reading a fascinating study right now by David R.Hawkins,M.D.,Ph.D - "Transcending The Levels of Consciousness" where Dr. Hawkins, in very "practical" terms gives solutions to working through every day issues that folks are dealing with. This particular work is very personal and gets down to where we live. It is excellent! <BR/><BR/>Anon. if you've never read anything by this man, don't let words such as "consciousness", "transcendence," etc...scare you off. He is most definitely worth reading as he is very intelligent and very insightful. I wish more in the mental health field could or would understand these principles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646581.post-44436386536652340792007-09-05T11:33:00.000-06:002007-09-05T11:33:00.000-06:00Myu sentiments exactly, anon.

Locally there is a huge push on to fund a crisis center, more shrinks etc but the case studies being put forward seem more like garden-variety neurotics who would benefit from revelation more than more talking about their problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646581.post-79798400204742976402007-09-05T01:29:00.000-06:002007-09-05T01:29:00.000-06:00This is an interesting post.

Dr. Scott Peck once wrote that in all his years of Psychiatry, he has experienced and seen that the most profound change in a human being is his/her commitment to God.<BR/><BR/>Carl Jung once told a hopeless patient by the name of Roland, "Alas,neither I nor my art can help you, and your only hope is to throw yourself wholeheartedly into a spiritual program, for it is recorded in history, although rare, recoveries have occurred under those circumstances."<BR/><BR/>Rolands remarkable recovery set the stage for the now, worldwide Twelve -Step movement. Studies show that it has even been effective in 35% of cases of extremely hardened chronic criminals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
