jā, varbūt problēma ir tā, ka parasti terapeiti savus klientus nediagnosticē kā slimus ;]]]
un ir pietiekami daudz pētījumu, kuros skatīta terapijas efektivitāte. ja tu vari vismaz apskatīt nobela prēmijas laureātu medicīnā ēriku kandelu kā nosacītu autoritāti, vari palasīt, ko viņš saka 2006.gadā - What our study group is discussing is whether or not the time is ripe to use brain imaging to evaluate the outcome of psychotherapy. There are now two forms of psychotherapy that have been medically proven to be effective. One is cognitive behavioral therapy, developed by Aaron Beck at the University of Pennsylvania. The other is interpersonal therapy, which was developed by Myrna Weissman here at Columbia. Those are two scientifically validated forms of short-term therapy. In 20 sessions you can see improvements in mildly and moderately depressed patients. And there have been some preliminary studies with obsessive-compulsive neurosis where you can see a metabolic abnormality in the caudate nucleus in imaging. If you treat people with psychotherapy and they get better, that metabolic abnormality is reversed, which is the same thing that happens if you give them pharmacological treatment, like Prozac. So that's encouraging. We want to see whether there is a science here, whether or not the foundation should get interested in it. And people like Tom Insel, head of the National Institute of Mental Health, are going to participate as evaluators.(http://discovermagazine.com/2006/apr/eric-kandel)

bet, protams, ikviens tic tādai realitātei, kuru spēj saprast.
